I only have searched his new mail address, because my first mail was
rejected. (I would tell him that there is a mistake on his site.)
I have greped some news groups an find his new website, but
his email address was the old one. :-(
So I guess his new mail address and had luck. No big deal.
This should be noticed in debian/copyright.

I'm new in maintaining package, too. This package is right to make the
first steps, the codebase will changes slow, too. ;-)
Have you read Debian New Maintainer Guide? It helps me a lot on
my first packages.

Hm. This is not was I meen as I wrote this mail.
I'm sorry, if it sounds this way, I'm not a native speaker of English.
Please let me encourage you to do needed work on this package and
ask again for comments and sponsors, if you have build a package.
First you should retitle bug to ITA as described in:
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o
to show that this package has a new maintainer.
Regards,
Erik
