Yes it is. Or more precisely, every package needs a maintainer with: 1) the skills to maintain it (familiarity not only with Debian packaging in general, but with the implementation language, the frameworks, the problem domain, sometimes specific hardware or other resources); 2) the time to maintain it; 3) a desire to maintain it. For any given package in Debian, it is quite possible that there are people with the appropriate skills and experience, people with time, and people with interest, but nobody with all three. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
