Hi all.

I think the Science team is the best home for the package, so that sounds great.

I won't be able to put any work in for a few weeks though, I still have quite a bit of other packaging pending that have been lingering since the Trixie freeze and release. If anyone else on the team has the time to at least get it moved into team maintenance, that sounds great as a start.

Best,
Gard
