I would like to join this discussion. it's not very motivatingif you work on a 
package (you are the owner) and then someone is going to upgrade it. We have a 
lot of packages unmaintained and we do not have the resources for different 
packagers doing the same work.

I guess, the kde upgrade  now has to be completed because it broke the caulron 
boxes. 
I know  kamil has worked on upgrading boost and this morning I saw it pushed 
by someone else.
We all need help once in a while, maybe asking the maintainer would help?
