Actually, there was. I lacked the time and tools to do so when I posted my
emails, which is why I asked rather than checking.

I would love to see cinnamon actively maintained in Debian and I'm glad there's
interested in doing so. I just wanted to make sure that those involved were
aware of the process for taking over a package, so there wasn't unnecessary
hostility or other problems. So far, nobody replying to my messages has
indicated that they are aware of the procedure, and intend to follow it.

I'm personally a big fan of collab-maint and would suggest that when the MIA
situation is resolved, if you wanted to keep it in collab-maint I don't see
why you should move it again, personally.
