No upstream release since 2005.

Yes, and that's precisely why I (wokring on coccinelle) am interested in maintaining it. > If you are aware of a better upstream (be it you or otherwise), please > tell us so we can update the Debian package. I'd be happy to maintain the project. Shall I start by creating a GihHub repository and perhaps include the patches you mention in this repository? > Possible improvements > include Python 3 support.

Well, I can help you guys with the maintainance if you like, but I'm not a debian developer and don' even have the skills of a debian developer, so maintaining the package alone is not possible.
