Alright. If you want to adopt it we should fixup the maintainer/uploader
metadata. Since bas agreed to the takeover you can just go ahead and
implement it yourself in d/control. Whether to leave Dmitry in Uploaders
(which would represent co-maintanance) is your call as maintainer now.
Overall you can basically choose one of the following maintanance
approaches:
1) Be responsible for dealing with everything yourself. You are in
Maintainers and there's no Uploaders,
2) Have a select set of people (maint+uploaders) be collectively
responsible or
3) Collaborative maintainance across all of Debian. i.e. anyone can
upload (we call this NMU) at will. You'd add yourself to the
[LowThresholdNmu] list in that case
[LowThresholdNmu]: https://wiki.debian.org/LowThresholdNmu
Currently blktrace is packaged in git using the "only debian/ dir in git"
approach https://salsa.debian.org/debian/blktrace. Personally I don't like
that workflow and would strongly prefer switching to something else as it
also impacts my sponsorship/review work. Do you have any preference among
the git workflows in Debian? .. yet ;-)

Hold off on uploading a new package to mentors with the metadata changes, I
don't have the focus right now but I'm sure to have more review comments
once I get around to it ;)
Feel free to poke and prod if I don't get my keyboard in gear.
