This matches my opinion as well.  I'm happy to help prioritizing
sponsoring packages that are maintained within the team, but it sounds
like there are already other Debian Developers involved.  I personally
don't use the packages in question; I got involved in NVIDIA package
maintenance since I have several systems that need the video drivers and
have not (yet) gotten involved in the other more interesting GPU work.
