    If at all, this whole situation is a plea to finally end single-person

    It is my opinion that all packages should be either in collab maint or
    in teams, and that any team member should feel free to have oversight
    and make uploads on their own.

    Before that can happen, we would have to ensure that all package sources
    are moved to Salsa otherwise it would be difficult for other DDs to make changes to the source.

    It is not actually needed. What I see as a blocker is having automatic
    source scan/import (and repack) rules for every package to ensure that importing a new upstream version is done in the expected way. Many packages
    do not have a d/watch file at all or manually repack files.
