Hello Chris,
Alexander already asked me about packages, and I have nothing again
getting it adopted. Just I had no time (and hardware) to handle the
packages, and the lack of upstream worries my a lot (e.g. security, but
also upgrading support libraries).

Greetings.
Thanks for your interest in maintaining the libg15render package and for
adopting the g15daemon package. Although I don't use g15, I maintain mumble
which can optionally use it to support users that have the g15 keyboard. Right
now I've had to disable g15 support in mumble because of the package removal
that had occurred, but I can re-enable that if it's considered safe to do so.
I'm CC:ing the current maintainer directly in order document them being notified
of the ITA.
This package IMHO is definitely available for salvage. Just for reference, the
Debian Developer's Reference section 5.12.2 suggests normally giving the
maintainer 21 days to respond before a salvage upload:

Packaging of libraries is a special category in Debian, and I've never been
involved in packaging a library so far, but am interested in how that works, and
given what this package is for this library package seems to be of relatively
low risk. I'm having another read through the Debian Developer's Reference
section 6.7.2 concerning libraries:
http://sejnfjrq6szgca7v.onion/doc/manuals/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.en.html#libraries
I see that Andrej Shadura is sponsoring uploads for your work with the g15daemon
package; have you checked with him to see if he's comfortable sponsoring uploads
for this package? Mainly I'm asking because the packages are related.
Thanks
