I guess the rejection is what you quoted in 
https://bugs.debian.org/916333#25

Thanks, btw, for quoting like that to make conversations with ftpmasters 
more transparent.  Much appreciated!

Did you try re-upload since the rejection?  If not, why not?

If that was the only reason given by ftpmasters for rejecting, then I 
would suggest to simply a) make sure that the licensing/patenting 
situation as you understand it is explicitly laid out in 
debian/copyright file, and then b) re-release the package.

When re-uploaded, I can suggest to try nudge ftpmasters by logging into 
irc channel #debian-ftp and kindly request a review of the package.

If you haven't given up yet, then would you be interesting in 
maintaining the package collaboratively?  I can offer to help if you 
would be interested in doing so e.g. in the Multimedia team.

If you have given up already, then I can offer to take over.

Kind regards,

 - Jonas
