I'd definitely agree with your assessment here and would also encourage
Kel to apply for NM.

Definitely no problem there.

Agreed, whoever wants to help maintain this should join pkg-wpa.

So, summary of the main issues with Kel's current package:

He doesn't have time to maintain it and needs folks to join pkg-wpa,
take ownership of the crda RFP (#536502) and work to get both crda and
wireless-regdb uploaded.

It combines crda & wireless-regdb into one source package. While
upstream keeps them separate, we should do the same.

A few other issues that are easy to fix:
