I've just subscribed now, so hopefully this post makes it!

Either, really - my plan was to see what the maintainer wanted to do. If 
they only wanted some assistance, I'd be glad to give it. Otherwise, I'm 
also happy to take over maintainership. As I'm a former developer (mj at d.o) 
looking to regain my status, I'd need my packages sponsored.

Cheers, MJ
