Right.  Luckily the library have its own test suite, so at least those
tests work.

I understand you all too well, as I am not part of the team and do not
have time to become it either.  I notice from
<URL: https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-xiph/ > that only a
handful are listed as part of the team.

But I know from other projects that if one person get started, others
tend to follow, so helping out might not mean "being the team".  It
might mean "restarting the team" too.  :)
