I think that ‘Every package must have a maintainer for the Debian project’
would be the most accurate:
- It underlines that the upstream maintainer is not enough if he does not
actually the package itself for Debian (providing a debian directory is
not enough)
- It allows packages to be maintained by non-members.
- It takes into account the packages in the contrib and non-free areas,
that are not part of the Debian OS.
Have a nice day,
