If I recall correctly, the package started out as a team
maintained one. I seem to recall having commit access at some point,
though I certainly did not make use of it. So perhaps the original
team could be candidates for the new team (provided, of course, they
are interested -- though it is possible that some, like me, are no
longer interested in the package)
