Ah, that would be very nice, as it might put people at ease regarding
its upstream status!

I guess you could file an RFP bug, <https://wiki.debian.org/RFP> so
that others might see there's interest in getting this packaged.

I think I'll file one for Yate itself in the coming days.

Checking whether the bugs that were the reason for this package getting
removed from Debian, have been fixed would make it way easier for
someone to pick up from where the package was left and try to package
the new version.

Here's the full list of bugs filed when the package was removed, the
most relevant ones are any with serious/grave/critical severity:

  https://bugs.debian.org/580810
  https://bugs.debian.org/682828
  https://bugs.debian.org/772400
  https://bugs.debian.org/811649
  https://bugs.debian.org/821668
  https://bugs.debian.org/828615

Thanks,
