A minimal ds2-3 update is something I could upload quickly (even today),
and would give a signal that the package is no longer orphaned.

Please send it directly to the debian/unstable branch, we do not need to
bother with extra branches since it’s only the two of us working on that
repository.

I can not promise anything with 6.14.1+ds2-4 and later, but feel free to ask me
anyway.

If you have an account on wiki.debian.org, you can consider that the
Teams/Mono page is now your own ;)

I kept it in the Teams namespace for two reasons, maybe they still make sense:
- so old links on the Web would still direct to the up-to-data wiki page
- in the hope that people would join me and resurrect an actual team

"One person team" is actually a quite common concept in Debian, but it
probably needs to be explicit to temper user (and upstream) expectations.
