Yeah, that's the kind of feature that I envisioned within the new
package tracker. Each contributor would express what they are willing
to work on:
- maintenance in unstable
- packaging new upstream versions
- dealing with incoming bugs
- dealing with the backlog of bugs
- maintenance in testing
- maintenance in stable
- maintenance in lts releases
But I have too many plans for the package tracker and not enough time to
dedicate to it. :-(
I'd gladly mentor someone trying to work on it though and review/merge
patches.
