Will do. Thanks.

Hmm.
I do have some nostalgic feelings on this
package as it was the second one I ever packaged (even though it took
time to upload it because I didn't want to to it before OOo itself was
in even though that would have been possible).

There's another point to think of: I unofficially became "The Debian
OOo Spellcheck man" ;-) which should say that I am the one who looks over
new spellcheck packages when I should get some to sponsor (-it and -fr
were some candidates; I'm not sure what the people offering these
packages do (-fr contacted me some time ago, though). These packages
(I know of -fr for sure, as far as I can see -es which is in the archive too
are based on my packaging, postinst/-rm etc.).

The Maintainer: should be Debian OpenOffice Team anyway, so the
discussion here is if

a) me stays alone in Uploaders:
b) me "gets replaced" with Roland in Uploaders:
or
c) Roland gets added to Uploaders: besides to me (Co-Maintainership)

I would go with a) or c)
Roland, what do you think?

Regards,

Rene
