I'm curious about the technical skills needed to pull this off. I'm not a maintainer and have never built a Debian package. It appears to me that it required a fairly deep knowledge of the package build pipeline to accomplish this. Is that well enough documented somewhere that someone with a technical background and desire to learn could pick it up? What's the possibility that this person (or team) has been an active participant in the Debian community? Likewise with the RH technology and team, if that differs.
