It's Zugschlus.

I think we can safely assume that the existing sssd team is defunct.

It's Luke Yasuda <jing at jing.rocks>, see #1143947.

I agree with that, I just wanted to point out that the team of another 
security relevant package decided differently (and I was the deciding 
part in that because I happen to lead that team).

Yes, I understand. sssd is important for Debian in an enterprise 
environment, and I kind of feel responsible as well because sudo 
recently dropped its -ldap variant and told people to use sssd instead.

I don't have much clue about LDAP in the first place though.
