Yes. I am the maintainer whom you accuse of not maintaining the package. Sorry to say that, but all your assumptions are wrong - all of the bugs you mention are handled, tagged accordingly in the BTS, new uploads are prepared in the packaging repository, and fixing last issues for the upload are being coordinated with upstream, keeping the buster release schedule in mind: https://github.com/pygame/pygame/issues/543 Anything more I can do for you?
