maybe I misunderstand something, maybe I need some more explicit
instructions here.

Well, my ebuilds for www-apps/otrs are in here already:

https://github.com/stefangweichinger/gentoo-overlay/tree/master/www-apps/otrs

(the other packages in that overlay aren't that up to date ... simply
some work collected over the years)

I only added beta4 yesterday.

I may do that if something gets moving around this package, yes.
Where would I have to sign up?

I am a proxied maintainer for app-backup/amanda already, as Robin mentioned.

[gentoo-dev] www-apps/otrs: needs new maintainer

[Stefan G. Weichinger]

I contacted Robin  today asking for how to proceed
here, he told me to post here.

tl;dr ->

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=506052

shows that

* the former dev has removed himself as maintainer

* the package is rather outdated now in portage

* there are some ebuilds already which could be considered to be added
(at least as unstable, sure)

pls advise,
thanks,
Stefan
