Makes good sense to mantain that library separately. Great that you've already done the initial preparations - please do go ahead with filing an ITP for it! If you don't mind swithing the packaging style from the current short-form dh to CDBS, then I would be happy to help maintain it. I can do the transition, or I can guide you - both is fine with me. Also fine with you keeping current packaging style and finding someone else to sponsor/co-maintain.
