Not just as a comaintainer according to https://salsa.debian.org/debian /gjots2/commit/202ae3f586cbe3a7867b881389382d3ee75b39a9 which relegated the previous maintainer to Uploaders. There were half a dozen commits before that, starting as NMUs, then adding the comaintainer, then another handful of changes culminating in the above but all on the same day https://salsa.debian.org/debian/gjots2/commits/master Ian.
