Great! It would be nice to have the package back in again. As for Debian the project, you don't need to be a Debian developer (DD) to maintain a package, you only need a DD to review and upload it. For this team, I'm not sure which requirement they have, though, I doubt that being a DD is required. Some useful information about the team is probably here [1]. I'm not a team member, so I'm not of much help with how this team operates.
