Technically you are trying to adopt the *source* package astroid, which
is unambiguously expressed with prefix as src:astroid - you are not
trying to adopt the *binary* package astroid.  That's the root of the
confusion.

That said, yes, please go ahead - thanks for your interest in adopting
packages, and sorry for my part in the confusion¹

Please - in addition to (not as a precondition) and only as a
suggestion, consider renaming the package src:astroid to
src:python-astroid, so as to eliminate future confusions between
src:astroid (providing binary package python3-astroid) and
src:astroidmail (providing binary package astroid).


Kind regards,

 - Jonas

¹ I introduced the binary package astroid, unaware at the time of the
confusion, and (as I recall) when made aware of the potential for
confusion I insisting on keeping the name: I considered it more helpful
for our users that we rename the source package of a library than to
rename the binary package of a user-facing binary package to something
unaligned with the actual binary executable.  The former maintainer
disagreed with me, leading to the current situation.
