It's fairly demonstrable that the package has been orphaned by its current maintainer, so it shouldn't be a big deal for someone from the QA team to file a WNPP bug orphaning the package, then it's up for grabs. To get a sponsor, you're best enquiring on the debian-mentors mailing list. See also http://mentors.debian.net Good luck. regards Andrew [1] http://nm.debian.org/
