If you aren't familiar with the component you are packaging and maintaining why are you doing it et all?

I think that's a bit unfair. While it's certainly helpful, it's not a requirement, to be a programmer in order to be a packager. I know very little C, some python, but I've learned quite a bit about building and packaging over the last few years.

You often end up with packages that you need for various reasons, but that doesn't mean you're intimately familiar with all of them.
