This is one of those cases.</p> <p>Nowadays the package is maintained by 3 people (with help from others occasionally), but it hasn&rsquo;t always been like this. Samuel adopted the package back in 2021, and since then it has received a lot of love and care to make sure it lives up to Debian&rsquo;s standards. Again, kudos to both him and Charles who have been doing great work on this front. But a little more than 20 years ago, the situation in Debian (and curl!) was &ldquo;a bit&rdquo; different.</p>
