If you can't understand what you are packaging, you shouldn't be

So maybe our documentation should state that?
I mean something like "if your're going to package something written in
Python it is highly recommended to KNOW python, and if you're going to
package something written in C it is highly recommended to know C" ?

Having a good relationship with upstream helps immensely especially if the
maintainer doesn't know C or C++ or whatever the software is written in. Maybe
that should be in the policy, too ;)
We really should not take it to the absurd extremes.
