I've been looking to get myself back involved with Debian and have been looking for something useful to work on. Our day to day paying work requires that we work with Wordpress and we have an interest in trying to automate installs (which we are currently doing with Ansible). I would be willing to take on the package. If you can hang around for a bit of a "trial period" you could review my work and ensure that I'm living up to my responsibilities. I would also be happy to work with Giuseppe if he is still active in the package's maintenance.
Let me know,

ps. I wasn't sure if you and Giuseppe are on the mentors list so I have copied both of you.
