I'm sorry, but you've just tripped my FUD-o-meter. TF is not dead upstream,
there was a release in May this year. Sure, development isn't particularly
quick, but the current version suits my needs, so I'm not going to nip at
Hawkeye's heels to get a new one out.

Perchance you could modify TF to suit your needs? Certainly better than
starting from scratch on your own, unless the TF code is mighty fugly.

If you were to tell us (or me, at least) why your one is unassailably
superior, and why you think that TF is dead upstream for 4 years, then there
might be more interest.
As it is, all I see is "I have a mud client I want to see in Debian", to
which pretty much any dedicated MUDder is going to say "why should I drop
TF, which I know and, well, know, for this one which I've never heard of?".
Without anyone else willing to use the package, nobody is going to sponsor
it.
