That would be interesting to find and discuss ideas to solve that problem,
especially if it has been going on for years ...

We are crucially lacking packagers/maintainers, so recruitment of packager
apprentices is one solution. We saw that, for QA, blog/forum/mailing list posts
were quite efficient in helping to recruit.

Another idea is to involve packagers more on stable releases: maybe we could
have a couple of bug squashing week-ends, in collaboration with QA and the
bugsquad team, to sort out and fix many existing bugs on mga 1 and 2.
