Hi Daniel, Daichi, Tobias,
Firstly, apologies Daichi, if you wish adopt this package and maintain it moving
forward, like Daniel, I would be happy to assist and support you as needed if
requested.
Daniel, As you state in your follow up email:

Not directly related to this, but I am very hesitant to step on any DD's toes or
hurt their feelings in any way shape or form these days and I have good reason
for this. I wrongly thought filing a bug on the package[1] would hopefully see
some movement on it and the package. This was done with the best of intentions
to show that this package was lacking updates in the recent past and allowing
Daichi to have visibility to maybe pickup the package if orphaned or the
maintainer indicated co-maintainers were wished and Daichi could maybe assist
from that point.
Thank you for escalating the conversation and I will learn from this situation
for future occurrences if any.
Bas has now indicated a lack of time to maintain the package and I now hope that
Daichi wishes to move forward with it.
