Feel free to propose a solution compatible with the
lack of dedicated man power.
The package per maintainer statistics can highlight
the workload issue:

    2406  Yaakov Selkowitz
     171  Jari Aalto
     142  Achim Gratz
     141  Marco Atzeri
      82  Ken Brown
      70  Dr. Volker Zell
      44  Achim Gratz/Yaakov Selkowitz
      39  Achim Gratz/Ken Brown
      36  Corinna Vinschen
      26  Andrew Schulman
      22  Jonathan Yong
      22  David Rothenberger
      20  Eric Blake
      19  Jon Turney
      17  David Stacey
....
Total 3388

Of course not all the packages weight the same;
Jon and Corinna have very heavy loads
