Sorry, i miss-expressed myself, I meant that I don't feel like
maintaining the package under my name but, propose to maintain it for
this maintainer when other debian developers have approved the package
quality.

Sorry, I still don't understand. If you maintain the package then *you*
are the maintainer. What would the other person do? Unless you are
speaking of co-maintaining the package. But has this person shown any
interest in packaging glurp?

Packages that are related don't need to be maintained by the same
person. Glurp and mpd are different programs, have different source
package and different bugs. Also glurp is not the only client for mpd.
Perl modules are closely related with perl, apache modules with apache,
etc, but they don't all have the same maintainer or maintainer team.

If you wish to maintain glurp I think you should go ahead and maintain
it. The "Developer Reference"[1] has a section on the PTS that you will
find useful.

I fully understand what maintaining a package costs in time
and work, I'm sorry if my words seemed unrespectful. I also have

I don't think your words were disrespectful. I was just mentioning my
personal opinion based on my (limited) experience as a package maintainer.

forgotten to say that i have contacted glurp upstream author and that
he is very positive on having glurp entering debian.

The software looks interesting. If you are willing to maintain it I'll
get a closer look and, if you want, sponsor the upload.
