Oh, and just to be clear, this isn't going to be some kind of huge |
| 18 |
growth. Right now I can count 380 new maintainer-needed packages, from |
| 19 |
which some will most likely be mapped. I would estimate the final |
| 20 |
outcome to around 300 packages, maybe less. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Now compare that to the current 1212 maintainer-needed packages. |
