Well, it's called group maintenance - Maintainer is the Debian Science
Team and I know you feel as a member.  You might formally put your
name as Uploader and just start using the Vcs.  (I even would not mind
if you port findimagedupes to git which gives me one more reason to
start with git ...)

I would also have no real problem if the Perl packaging team takes
over.  We should do whatever makes sense to keep this package inside
Debian in a good quality.

Kind regards
