Yes please! I do not currently have time to maintain backintime properly,
so co-maintenance would be helpful.

I uploaded the current repository state to salsa [1].

Would you prepare an update to the latest upstream targetting sid?

Bug#881205: Assistance for maintaining src:backintime

[Ghislain Vaillant]

Dear Jonathan,

I was suprised to discover that backintime had been removed from
testing despite RC bug #881205 being fixed upstream [1].

For testing/unstable an update of the package to version 1.1.24 should
do the trick, whilst stretch/wheezy will require a backport of this
particular commit.

I was wondering whether you need any help with the maintenance of the
package, which I'd be happy to offer. It might also be useful to move
the package to team-maintenance long term, under collab-maint or one of
the Python packaging teams.
