Well, you can join the team, to get commit access to our SVN: just
create yourself an account on alioth.debian.org and report it back to
us.
Then you'll import the package in the SVN, following the way other
packages are organized (which is easy to understand)
If you really don't want that hassle, we can of course just take the
package over, but that would be the second-ranked solution, imho.

They are fairly easy to do, particularly by using other team packages
as a model..:-)
