Ouch, that's indeed quite a lot of packages.

Are you willing to maintain them yourself on the long term? I could
sponsor them, but would not actively help to maintain them (ie, I would
only check that they don't seem too broken to be uploaded to Debian, but
would really be helpful when dealing with bugs).

I do have access to infiniband clusters, but haven't had to set them up
myself, so my experience with infiniband is very limited.
