Contributing to the Debian Multimedia Team will not only make the Debian
distro better, but also Ubuntu (studio), 64studio, Musix, Sidux and
other derivatives! Notice for instance the fact that packages in Debian
unstable will hit Ubuntu too.
However, maybe the question is how linuxaudio.org can support and
stimulate people and teams to become a package maintainer for a audio or
multimedia packages. I focus mainly on Debian and derivatives, but I can
imagine other projects for Fedora and OpenSuse for instance, also could
use some package maintainers.
I say
'one artist, one package' ;)
or
'one linux audio user, one audio package' ;)
