The FTP Team has very recently made a call for volunteers [1], so
perhaps they already have some plans?...

Anyhow, I wrote to weigh in on this particular comment, because, as a
Debian Maintainer, I had only submitted two packages to the NEW queue.
On both occasions, the FTP Team found licensing issues in the packages,
even though I thought I had done a *really* great job of reading through
the copyright notices, (specially for the second package). So, I'm
glad the package had to be reviewed, even though I would had been
happier if the process had taken less time, :).
Cheers,
Gabriel
