I wish the Python team was more like the Perl one, who really is a well
functioning with a strong team spirit and commitment, with a sense of
collective responsibility. It's far from being the case in the DPMT.

Moving packages to the DPMT will not magically get you new maintainers.
Even within the team, there's unfortunately *a lot* of strong package
ownership.
