Some developers tend to think that if they just add themselves to the |

herd as well, someone else from that herd will take care of fixing the |

bugs in the packages they introduce... |

Unfortunately I see no easy solution to this other than to speak to |
| 11 |
the common sense of these devs asking them to take the time to |
| 12 |
actively maintain any packages they add to the tree - or don't add |
| 13 |
them at all. |
