It's not that simple.  FIrst of all, didn't debian incorporate about two years 
ago?

Secondly, without being incorporated, it wouldn't be just the individual 
maintainers at risk.  Exactly how much of the leadership and how far down the 
chain of developers liability extended is debatatable, and far from pretty.
