You are right, and it is my intention to do so in future.
The only thing stopping me is that at the moment the sponsorhip for this package is working and I have very scarce time, so that I had not yet reread the rules of the team
(last time I read them was a few years ago).

Regarding the tasks, I think "linguistics" is fine. In addition, what about "machine learning" and/or "statistics"?

How can I add them to the tasks? I have found this repository https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/blends/projects/science.git but no clear instructions.

I think science is more appropriate than libs in this case. I switched to science section.

Fixed.

Fixed.
