Hi,

The maintainer for this package is the Python Modules Team
<python-modules-team at lists.alioth.debian.org>, it seems you are already
a member of that team, the
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/PythonModulesTeam/HowToJoin page says this
about packages:

There is a unwritten policy about the usage of Maintainer and Uploaders
field, you might be interested to know about:

    If the team is in the Maintainer field (and you are in Uploaders
    field) then every member of the team can apply changes to the
    package and upload it freely;

    if you are in the Maintainer field (and the team is in Uploaders
    field) then every member of the team can apply changes to the
    package but any upload should be acknowledged by you (there are some
    exceptions, like uploads to fix RC bugs, but are infrequent).

As a general rule of thumb, just set Maintainer to the team; there might
be some exceptions, like in situations where the package is so complex
that a check from a knowledgeable person is welcome before an upload but
they are very rare.

If the team is in Maintainer field, remember to subscribe appropriate
mailing list or at least bts and contact keywords on this page.

So, it seems like you are free to update the package!
