Could do!!
But I'm thinking that they don't want to go through the
bother of putting a "package" together for software experiencing
very little demand (in their mind).

I just sent Jackson Doak of Ubuntu an email asking him if they
would maintain the Gambit-C package, or whether the "maintainer"
has to originate from the Gambit-C community.

The maintainer can be from anywhere. The old packaging required the
compile to be run twice, but i'm not sure if that's still needed.
It's just a case of finding someone with the time.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=677709 and
