believe James Vega (the most active vim maintainers in Debian these
days, and which deserves the kudos part on our responsiveness :)) does.
My thought on this issue is as follows. I don't like reinventing wheels,
and it is what possibly happened with Gatekeeper. I hope your message
can help fixing this. We would be very happy Debian-side if our
vim-addon-manager solution will spread outside Debian boundaries, it is
by no means Debian-specific. Our policies for how to handle this are
stored in the Debian Vim policy
(http://pkg-vim.alioth.debian.org/vim-policy.html/) and can be read be
whoever wants. Similarly, the vim-addons source code is available and
free software.
The implementation is probably suboptimal, but it is not a complicated
piece of code, if there is interest in the wider vim-dev community we
might even rewrite it from scratch! implementing perceived needs. Just
let us know.
Please remember to Cc pkg-vim-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org if you
want to be sure that me, or someone else of the Debian vim maintainers,
follows this thread.
Cheers.
