Great!

Maybe that is obvious by now, but let me reiterate to make sure:

What is needed is maintainers - i.e. people willing to generally be
attentive to and addressing bugreports in the official Debian package.

If that is what you would like to do, Benedikt, then please request
membership of our salsa team, and add yourself as Uploader in the
control file of the source package. Also, please join our mailinglist
if you haven't already (I cc'ed you now, to be on the safe side).

Thanks,

 - Jonas
