Hi Andreas,

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for your message.  I’d love to have your help with this package. I’ve 
not been very active in Debian in several years. I don’t recall the formal 
process, but I’d be glad to have you or an appropriate team take over 
maintenance of the package if you are interested and willing.

Thanks and best wishes,

Kevin
