It is important that whoever is the package maintainer for an
upstream piece of code in any distribution:

1) Completely understands the patches he is applying.

and therefore:

2) When he submits upstream, he doesn't have to wake up
   2,000 patch submitters from the dead just to figure out
   why a change was made.

Neither seems to be occuring here.
