If Muammar is OK with it and does not have much time in the near
future to maintain the package himself, perhaps you can contact people
from pkg-multimedia (the maintainers of Blender) or similar teams in
Debian -- maybe they would like to have Makehuman under their umbrella
and will help you with the task.

That also sounds as a good solution to avoid NEW queue. I am almost
certain there will be people interested in pkg-multimedia to take care
of MH. I understand upstream's concerns about the ancient version
currently available in Debian. If Joel wants, he can proceed to
request RM from the archives but then the package has to go again in
NEW queue. I apologize for all troubles caused.
Sorry for delay, an easter vacation got in between.
How would I go about speaking with the pkg-multimedia team in practice?
Worst case, we have people on our side prepared to maintain the build,
but we would then most likely need some basic support in interpreting
guidelines etc. So hooking up with the people maintaining the blender
build sounds like a sensible idea.
Anyway, it sounds like maybe we should put off doing the final delete of
the makehuman package until we've at least made a preliminary check with
the multimedia people.
