Here's my plan, then: I'll maintain this extension on my own for a while, and if it proves to be well-maintained enough upstream and still seems to be a worthwhile addition to Debian, and once my record suggests I'm not going MIA, then I might propose team-maintenance again, and we'll see (if you're curious, see e.g. the GTK / GObject Introspection / etc. Perl bindings, that I'm maintaining as part of the Perl team, for an example of how I've been handling team-maintenance of packages that I'm primarily interested in). As a side note, my (limited) experience in the Debian Perl team is that most new members join us to maintain a new package or a few. Certainly, quite a few of them go MIA after a while, but that's also our main way to get new contributors, and some of them eventually get more involved in the team. I'm not saying *I* specifically was intending to become strongly invested in the GNOME team (ENOTIME), just sharing my experience that sometimes, when the team can handle it (I know that may be a hard pre-requisite), it's worth it to allow people to potentially add to the collective plate (if they disappear), if it brings a few active team members in. Anyway, thanks a lot for your work on GNOME in Debian!
