I assume that you are referring to me, though I'm puzzled by your use of the plural form. Of course, the same thing has happened in the past many times, both within the security team and elsewhere, with different people filling the various roles, and without Ubuntu as a convenient scapegoat. Indeed this happens all the time, derived from the fact that Debian work is tied very closely to leisure time for nearly all of us. Fortunately, the reality in this case is less bleak than your description, and in some ways it is better than it has been in the past when people become less active. - Primarily behind the scenes, Steve Kemp is involved with security operations, actively supporting the security team in a secretary role - Both in public[0] and in private, Martin Pitt (acting in an Ubuntu role) and others from the Ubuntu community have been collaborating with the Debian security team on patches for a wide range of vulnerabilities - In Debbugs, Joey Hess and others have been helping security fixes to flow from Ubuntu to Debian unstable The latter two points reflect how Debian is benefiting in some very direct ways from security work being done in Ubuntu.
