That section only shows that some people maintain more packages than
others.

Try this little exercise: count the number of packages per maintainer in
pkgsrc, spread the failure % across this list based on the % of packages
the particular maintainer owns and compare it with the list you produce
right now.  I seriously doubt the list will differ significantly.

We don't believe in culture of blame in pkgsrc (and NetBSD).  People
spend their free time for the benefit of others.  By composing such
blame lists you can only discourage people from maintaining more
packages because they would inevitably end up on the list.
