I didn't mention python although I know it is used a lot by Ubuntu dev. 
because, despite being a powerful language that I really appreciate, it 
is a script language. It means that if there is an error in some part of 
the code that is not executed during the test, you can't see it until 
someone falls into. This kind of risk is dramatically reduced when using 
a compiled language.

Ok I will add myself in packaging team, but I will really need to be 
trained to be useful.
