It's just a much needing QA as it is needing packages built in the first
place. 7.2 packages require extra work. I get many good submissions and
work for 7.3, do put out a 7.2 and an 8.0 package most often I have to do
the work myself, and that can take too long. When I took over this
project it was with the caveat that I am not a developer, but a project
manager. Sure I can rebuild packages and stuff, but I can't spend all my
time engineering and backporting patches when updates need to be pushed,
mirrors need to be added, infrastructure needs to be built etc...
8.0 is even worse than 7.2.
