Thank you for pursuing this :-)  Strictly speaking, we're looking for an
active upstream maintainer.  For example, eproject has one, but is
neither part of GNU ELPA nor MELPA ( https://github.com/jrockway/eproject ).
From what I've read an active upstream maintainer is also now part of
MELPA's standards, and they'll also probably ask for trivial-cite's
project URL.

In github namespace, tc is now occupied by https://github.com/kanchoku/tc
It might be worth renaming the package to trivial-cite at this time,
to avoid the confusion this causes.

Please let us know once you have it in Vcs.  Other hosts like Gitlab
or Bitbucket are also perfectly fine :-)

Sincerely,
Nicholas
