You should use the existing wnpp bug report #525921 to state your
intention to adopt instead of creating a new one. Please add a note to
#525921 that you are intending to adopt the package, retitle it from O:
to ITA: as described here [0][1] and you can also set your self
as the owner of the bug report as well if you like.
[0] http://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control
[1] http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/
You should also add [ITA] to the subject line of your RFS bug report as
well, as described here [2].

Hopefully you will find a sponsor soon.
Thanks,
