I wanted sagemath in Debian. So I started packaging things left and
right, and because of that, I'm now a DD with my hands in the Debian
Python Team, the Debian JavaScript Team and the Debian Science Team.
And I need to be in those teams to do anything useful. If there had
already been a Debian Math Team at that time, I would have needed to
join too -- one more team!
And I think that's Stuart's point : someone who is either a bug-hunter
(yes, some like it) or who is aiming at a large target (dropping Python
2, packaging a beast) will need to be part of all teams involved, and
having too many of them is adding to the chore.
I'm not sure that's a strong issue, though.
Cheers,
J.Puydt
