Nice, thanks for the summary. It seems like you'll have more than enough to actually perform maintainership, what is required normally is the will to fix bugs and follow up user questions, it is well understood that improvements and new functionalities depend on significantly higher resourcing. +1 on graduating the module to supported, it's clear it will have mantainers behind it.
