Just to give some context, I offered my help with this package when it had a RFA [1] and it was already part of the old DPMT [2]. However, I was not aware when I did my first upload that I was also moving it out of the team's supervision. I did this inadvertently, and even though you did let me know a couple years ago [3] I completely missed it. Today I prepared an update with the latest upstream release plus some improvements, and now that I noticed I would like to correct my mistake and take the package back where it was. I am maintaining the package for fun and to learn, so shifting the work to someone else would not make much sense. :) Of course, if you consider this is no longer a good fit for the DPT that's okay! I just agree with Mattia and believe that team maintenance makes more sense, especially for an inexperienced maintainer like myself. I hope that helps clear your doubts.
