you only maintain this package, you have not uploaded it in more than
3.5 years, and that package received 3 NMUs in the last 2 years; how
can you reassure that you're going to actually take care of this
package moving it to DPT, instead of letting the team essentially
maintain it?

Hi Sandro, thanks for your quick reply!

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.
Best,

Just a heads-up, this has already been resolved and no further action
is needed. Thanks!
