    Thanks. Unfortunately this undercounts team maintenance very
    significantly (by at least 4000) as a result of https://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/MailingListContinuation. Given the
    timing of that change compared to the sudden increase in co-maintained
    packages on that graph, I suspect they're mostly being misfiled as co-maintained.

    I've filed https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/merge_requests/497
    to fix this, but even after that's accepted and uploaded, I'm not sure
    how long it would take to trickle through to UDD; I presume old figures
    would never be corrected.

    There's still a discrepancy of several thousand compared to the numbers
    I found, so I've probably missed something else similar.
