We have a lot of leaf applications and so on that can't have a team.
To be precise, we have both: packages that may not fit neatly into any team, and many packages that align perfectly with existing teams, such as the scientific team, games team, multimedia team, phototools team, and others. I've moved many packages to these teams. Additionally, the software in question is written in a specific programming language, making it easier to find maintainers fluent in that language within the dedicated language team. These maintainers can help with issues, or, even better, the newcomer may contribute to resolving problems within the language-specific team. I don't want to suggest that current team members are eager for more work, but the potential for new, active team members might be compelling enough to take on the responsibility of sponsoring. Kind regards Andreas. -- https://fam-tille.de
