Hello, I'm taking into consideration the possibility of taking over the mantainership of an orphaned package[1], but I'd need some clarifications regarding this task, in order to decide if I am capable enough to do it. Caution comes from the assumption of my limitations. To me it's clear that the notion of Community implies giving back to it, at least, within someone's own ability and knowledge. In my case, this limit is the lack of C programming background. Would such a mantainer be totally useless? To my understanding, a mantainer should be able to patch the sources if necessary, not only build/package/publish them and act as a proxy between bug reporters and developers. Despite the fact that I'm probably answering myself, I'd be glad to know your opinion. Regards.
