If a package is important to the distro, there will be a dev who wants
to maintain it. If the devs don't have time and there is a popular
demand for a package, the package should be maintained in community by
a _TU_. If a package is not important nor popular, and there is a dev
or a TU that happens to use it, IMHO the package should be in a binary
repo BUT the repo should be extra if the maintainer is a dev or
community if the maintainer is a TU. Otherwise the package should be
dropped to unsupported. That's how I see it.
