I hoped this discussion could stay on topic about the maintainer issue raised by this good article, a topic which concerns very much Devuan well beyond the init diatribe.

So as a matter of interest, how many people are actively contributing to Devuan and how do you handle the issue of who maintains which packages? Does Devuan encourage co-maintainership or “maintainerlessness” to a greater degree than Debian does today? What could Debian learn from Devuan as far as organising package maintainership is concerned?
