For nearly 2 years, nobody was interested to adopt this package. If you are,
or can find anyone who does, you're invited to reïntroduce the package in
Debian maintaining it yourself.
I don't contest that this package can be useful, but it does require someone
who looks after it -- and QA is an interim solution, not a permanent solution.
