Does this convey publicly that you are the official maintainer of
libcamera completely?

If this is a top level 'package.xml' in the upstream public repo ...

It would be hard to identify that you are only the maintainer of 'this
file' ?

This topic seems ... tricky....

That means that I am the maintainer of the "libcamera" package and that 
I am the contact person regarding issues or requests related solely to 
the packaging of libcamera.

A package can have multiple "maintainer" entries. See for example the 
"apriltag" library as a plain CMake project:

https://github.com/AprilRobotics/apriltag/blob/master/package.xml

I think this is similar to how other packages are maintained. E.g. the 
libcamera packages on Debian use a mailing list as point of contact:

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libcamera

and does not mention the authors as maintainer.

We could of course add multiple people as maintainers, or even a 
"libcamera-package" mailing list or similar. That was my initial 
intention with adding Laurent as an additional maintainer.

I could also add "libcamera-devel@lists.libcamera.org" as the sole 
maintainer. Up until now, I acted as the sole maintainer and did not 
receive any notifications, even when builds failed. So we could do that 
and change the maintainer from "libcamera-devel" back to something else 
if there are undesired notifications.
