 build-essential
        A package that depends on all the packages in the build
        essential list.  It's useful to make sure everything in the list
        is installed on the system when building and testing your own
        packages.

 debootstrap
        Allows you to "install" Debian's base on a given directory
        anywhere on the filesystem.  Combined with a chroot and
        build-essential, this makes for a nice way to have a clean
        environment where you can build your packages.

 (yes, my description of pbuilder is different from yours)

            what needs new maintainers, what's being adopted, what's
            being packaged and what would be nice to have packaged.

 I actually tell people they must subscribe (the DAM subscribes them to
 -private when they become maintainers, doesn't he?)

 > -policy:  where possible changes to debian-policy are discussed

 Mention -mentors, too.
