| You're right, and I knew that. The word "mainly" might have been not the right
| one; sorry about that.

| joostvb@banach:~% for p in $( apt-cache search --names-only r-cran | \
| cut -d' ' -f1 ); do echo -n "$p "; apt-cache show $p | grep Maintainer; done | \
| cut -d' ' -f3- | cut -d\< -f2 | sed 's/^/</' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n

| 19 <lawrencc@debian.org>
| 105 <debian-science-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org>
| 130 <edd@debian.org>
| 137 <debian-med-packaging@lists.alioth.debian.org>
That's a very good start; you may also want to look at 'apt-cache rdepends
r-base-core' (and maybe r-base) to get the r-bioc-* and r-other-* packages.
