This is a similar question to Marc Haber's one in <[🔎] 20100315103039.GA15651@torres.zugschlus.de>. To quote from my response to that question: But I believe the problem is wider than just the core infrastructure; it is about the project as a whole facing competition for attracting distribution developers by the fact that there are several other community-based distributions out there today than there were about a decade ago. I think that also applies here: lack of manpower is not a problem that is specific to our core teams, but instead is a general problem within Debian. To solve it long-term, we need to make Debian more attractive for contributors. This is a difficult problem to solve, however. -- The biometric identification system at the gates of the CIA headquarters works because there's a guard with a large gun making sure no one is trying to fool the system. http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/01/biometrics.html
