Welcome to the team.  Both the git migration and Ondřej recent changes were 
general operations done on all team packages and not an indication of any 
particular interest.  Particularly since Debian Python Modules Team is set as 
maintainer, you should feel free to work on the package.

If you are interested in keeping the package up to date, please add yourself 
to Uploaders and then get to work.  Please make sure you use git-dpm on any 
DPMT repositories.
