Yes, of course. I've fixed some bugs in adduser and would like to adopt
the package. What does Guy say to this?

You can get the current package still at
http://www.copyleft.de/pub/author/roland/debian/adduser/
Please note that I didn't change the version number since the version I
put there yesterday although some more bugs are fixed and changelog is
improved.

The current changelog is:

adduser (3.11.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * NMU
  * new tool 'deluser' to remove users the same way like adding them
  * manpage for deluser(8) and deluser.conf(5)
  * translation of adduser and deluser to German
  * fixed bug that uid and gid 0 were not recognised (fixes: #59859, #60491,
    #50620, #56468, #53606)
  * text "enter groupname" instead of "enter username" if adding a group
    (fixes: #52701)
  * also allowing usernames like foo$ with --force-badname for compatibility
    with Samba machine accounts (fixes: #28149)
  * allow also setting full gecos fields with --gecos like
    "Roland Bauerschmidt,Room 3,0421/3763482,0421/373545" (fixes: #44031)
  * last NMU has already fixed bug 44810 (fixes: #44810)
