I at least want to know what I could have done because, from my perspective, I did everything in my power to do this as quickly as possible. At the time I made the request, the buster release date had not yet even been set. I followed up on the docker bugs and offered to help and was told by the maintainer it was under control.
The singularity community was really looking forward to having the package in Debian Stable this time around.
