As for why don’t the zig developers become official Debian maintainers, gentoo maintainers, redhat maintainers, FreeBSD maintainers, homebrew maintainers and so on - well, probably because they’re too busy making zig. There are way too many unix package managers to support without help. Especially if doing so requires joining mailing lists, manual testing and so on. I wish there was a way to automate making all those packages across different unix distributions, but I can see why that’s a hard problem.
