I would opt for this option, as I don't think I would be able to
maintain a package alone, but I'd really like to help (at least as a
first step).

That is really nice from you, and I'm really happy to accept your
proposal.

I have to read again parts of the documentation, but I know where to look for.
I have just subscribed to d-d-annouce.

That is what I intend to do as a co-maintainer

I really don't know if I will one day become a DD, but I am already
helping the Debian French Translation team, and responsible for a few
translations.

My gpg key hasn't yet been signed by anyone, but I'm sure I can meet
someone one day in the near future if it is really important.
Now, Micah, it's up to you. If you feel I can help you in anyway with

In practice, I think we could create a new Alioth project for this, what
do you think?
Cheers,
Julien
