I know, I did it in the F12 release cycle too, although it's not my
package. The package has 17 maintainers (!) but nobody seems to care
about it. So I just stepped up another time and did the update for
F13/Goddard.

Sorry if this may sound impolite, but I don't think it's on my to ask
the design team. Usually the maintainers who change something are to
notify the maintainers of the affected packages. So when Goddard becomes
default, the person doing this change should ping
desktop-backgrounds-owner@fpo.

In a perfect world (tm) I wouldn't need to care about this because my
packages only require desktop-backgrounds-compat but not
goddard-backgrounds. But the world is not perfect, so feel free to also
notify lxde-common-owner, lxdm-owner and xfdesktop-owner just as you did
this time. Would be nice to be notified a little earlier next time.

Regards,
Christoph
