Numba is orphaned, see #935626, so I think go ahead and adopt the
package and push to the main repo.

Numba is not in testing, so I don't see why you shouldn't upload
directly to unstable.

Packages that optionally depend on numba can upload versions
re-enabling numba support to experimental and see how they fare.
