Bug#251218: /devel/people gives recognition for quantity of packages, not quality



Hello Ben,

I don't share your vision here. That specific list does not credit any
maintainer over the other. The maintainers are not ordered on the number
of packages, but just alphabetically. With each maintainer is indeed a
list of packages, but that's a factual report of which software
someone's responsible for, and adds no judgement on who's a better
maintainer. IMHO the page doesn't need to be changed for that.

There's of course the question if this page has any use at all, but that
is a different point.
