Hi, Sorry for the late reply. It looks like I have never received Phil's and Nicholas' email since Dec. 12 (like many of the previous emails that I didn't receive from Phil for the package checks in many of my RFS bugs). Please keep me in CC to ensure mail delivery.
Also see my comments inline below.

I think your last comment regarding the packaging was sent on 29 Jun, 2024, and another reply to Bart in 26 July saying that your were working on a reply. I have tried to address your comments, and many pings for further comments in between. And now I'm under the impression that I'm being implied as not serious. > > and/or proactively remain appraised of such issues.

I'll definitely do my best to keep the packages in a good shape, and meanwhile I also expect support from other team members, which will make it not as daunting as it sounds. The only reason that I'm adding myself to the Uploaders list is that as a DM I can quickly resolve RC issues (like the one caused by markdown removal) and simple package updates that are straightforward. More substantial changes still need to be reviewed by the team by filing bugs or merge requests on Salsa, which I plan to do. I'm not sure where you get the impression that this work doesn't interest or motivate me, as I have sent multiple pings during this whole review time. If there are any further packaging fixes/improvements can be done, I'd like to learn and do it. Anyway, I have also just committed f1133533[1].
