So how many are there approximately? And how many are involved in the 
jquery stuff? I am considering joining the team, but I don't want to be 
the only one to care for jquery and its related packages (no offense 
intended Antonio).

So a statement on the current strategy would be nice, such that I can 
evaluate if it makes sense to join the team. What I care for is that a 
modern version is available (maybe for the time being next to an older 
API? How are other JavaScript chains handling the lack of automatic API 
tracking? Are there tools in the team to check for breakage? One of the 
stupid but powerful things that I do for the cacti package (a web-app) 
is to just recursively crawl all web-pages, I guess it must be possible 
to also check JavaScript execution.
