While looking for something on the Debian website I came across the news that Steve Langasek passed away early 2025: https://www.debian.org/News/2025/20250117

I’ve never met him, nor do I know him, but I came across his name plenty of times in both the Ubuntu and Debian community, package changelogs, maillinglists or bugtrackers. AFAIK he was the guy who drove the t64 transitioning on sid/testing for Trixie.

The Ubuntu community has a thread for remembering him: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/remembering-and-thanking-steve-langasek/52665

RIP Steve Langasek.
