Hey, I've recently been having some problems keeping up with my basic debian duties, being overwhelmed by Real Life™ issues, so I thought it would be a good idea to ask for co-maintainers for a couple of my packages. I still very much want to keep maintaining them and would also accept team-maintenance, but I'll admit I'm a bit wary of big teams - where the responsibility can be pushed around too much - and would therefore prefer small teams if possible.
The biggest problem is transmission[0]. It's not a complicated package, but it has a few FTBFSs for which I simply don't have the time right now. Upstream is very responsive, friendly and even proactive about debian bugs, so it's really just a matter of man-power. The second item in my list is the statusnet ITP[1]. It has a relatively long story, including a packaging attempt by upstream (Evan is a DD), but it's been kinda stuck lately. The git repo in collab-maint included upstream's repo, so I decided it would be cleaner to create a new one with just debian stuff, which is currently here[2]. AFAICS the only thing missing for a first upload is the debian/copyright file, but since I've been pulling some late shifts for debian work lately, the chance is pretty high I forgot something important. And since I'm already on the subject: I also have a couple of RFAs for packages which probably deserve removal in the long run, but in case there's anyone interested...
