As an extra side note about Johannes's experience, he diligently maintains his own custom repo with several quality packages. So, he is already familiar with much of the repo maintenance schtick.

I'd be interested to hear whether or not there are some groups of packages (not the packages themselves, but rather, a theme or type of package) that you are interested in maintaining. Put more plainly, what kind of packages interest you (you mentioned Haskell packages, for example, is that because Haskell interests you, or are there particular Haskell packages that you'd like to see in [community])?
Two related groups of packages I’m interested in are LDAP and Kerberos packages. I couldn’t adopt krb5 and openldap since they are in [core], but I’d like to maintain related packages like nss-pam-ldapd, pam-krb5, and possibly things like mod_auth_kerb, which is an Apache module for Kerberos authentication, and apachedirectorystudio if I can get it packages more nicely as an eclipse plugin instead of just dumping their binaries in /opt. I’m also interested in some media packages, like np1-mps and mps-youtube which are music streaming clients, cmusfm and mpdscribble which are last.fm scrobblers for cmus and mpd respectively, Other than that, I don’t use much Haskell things, but the language does interest me, and I also know that it’s something of a pain to maintain the packages, so I thought that more help with that could be nice. -- Sincerely, Johannes Löthberg PGP Key ID: 0x50FB9B273A9D0BB5 https://theos.kyriasis.com/~kyrias/
