Regardless of who packages it - hell, Ali Akaagac could package it if it
was of good enough quality - the question is who should maintain it for
Debian.

I would like to be part of this team, as I am an active upstream member,
and I think I have reasonable Debian credentials (especially if I'm
going to be packaging the things in the first place).

Are you comfortable with an Uploaders: field for fd.o xlibs that
includes myself?
