Yes, have a look here:
http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=debian-multimedia@lists.debian.org
You can access this page from the team's wiki:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia
Some of the packages do not report the latest upstream version because
no watch file was included in the relevant source package.

That's true, but I guess many of the visitors of debian-multimedia are
interested in getting packages not legally distributable by Debian,
like codecs and encoders/decoders. It's difficult to say how many of
them are actually interested in other types of audio/multimedia
packages.
An initiative for increasing the number of DDs in t he Debian
Multimedia Team would be a Good Thing, though :)
Ciao!
