I'd love to see it working the same way it works in Debian.  With
random developers uploading (AND TAKING ON THEM THE RESPONSABILITY TO
KEEP IT WORKING AND POSSIBLY UPDATED EVER AFTER), whilst a "team" is
only tasked with basically verifying that the version string is sane and
won't break update.


I don't remember teward's proposals from 2 years ago, but I do realize
the current way the backports pockets are handled just makes it not
sustainable.
