Hi.
I'm here mostly to ask some questions:

This is a native package, so really "Adopting" it also means taking care
of the (little) code there is inside.  Therefore, turning it into a 3.0
(quilt) package is most probably not an appropriate action.

You wrote to the O bug, but without turning it into an ITA, and most
importantly without writing *why* you'd like to adopt such odd package.
I'm honestly curious: I'm kind of biased here as I was the one massaging
it into shape when it needed it last year.

And all in all, I personally doubt the usefulness of doing an upload
only bumping std-ver (to a version that is not even the last) and just
tweaking a couple of other fields.
