There is the clincher. :) It really will take someone to step up and say
"Ok. I believe in this theme/concept enough to learn what is needed to
get it into Universe."

It will take learning Launchpad, BZR and working with -MOTU. If you prep
the source packages right you wont *need* to learn packaging but it
wouldn't hurt.
