Thanks for the link to an amazing article!

PS: A citation that probably applies to us:

Let's say you don't have the infrastructure for a giant build server,
but you still want it to be easy for devs to get software into the
distro. First and foremost, your distro should be easy to contact. Put
in big letters on the home page something like "Want your software in
the official repo? Send an email to this address and our maintainers
will look at your proposal and get back to you soon."

(even though in reality our problem is more in reviewing existing tickets ...)
