BTW, if you think your work can be a sound basis for an update of the zotero
package, please feel free to push it to the Debian repo (it's currently in
collab-maint on alioth, it could also probably be migrated to the Debian group
on Salsa).

I don't want to stand in the way, especially since I don't have much
time/motivation for this package. I could even formally handover maintenance if
you're interested in it.
