Generally speaking, yes we need help with maintaining Java stuff. We are
very few active members at the moment. If a package is outdated it is
mostly due to lack of manpower. I don't know why checkstyle in
experimental was not uploaded to unstable but if the new release doesn't
break any reverse-dependencies we could upload it to unstable.
