I haven't yet requested to become a Debain maintainer, but statements like
the above do concern me. Because an individual wants to work on a
required component (or one that's perceived to be) they potentially get
preferential treatment? I've gotta say, that doesn't sit too well with
me. Just because a package isn't core in one person's opinion doesn't
mean it isn't in another's. Applications should be processed on merit and
the order in which they are recieved, to give preference based on desired
component just strikes me as wrong.
