IMHO the maintainer should be a team (either Debian Science or Debian
Python) and it seems reasonable to put the team in charge which is
owning the VCS where the package is maintained. Since the package
technically fits into Python and from content into Science there is no
clear rule to decide. The Blends framework can be used in any case. It
is no requirement to maintain a package in a certain team.

Since I think that the package clearly fits into Deban Science Blend I'm fine
if you would use "Sponsering of Blends":
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianPureBlends/SoB
One drawback of using Debian Python VCS is that it is not (yet) scanned
for new packages and thus the package does not yet show up on the
Science viewing page. Since I'm aware about this I would not mind about
this "requirement" of SoB.

I was contacted at least twice by somebody (may be mdtx - whoever this
might be) and I answered in publich to the Debian Med maintainer list (I
was contacted about Debian Med KGB) that I have no idea what needs to be
done and I also have currently no time to make up my mind. I personally
do not use KGB features and I expect somebody else in the team to do the
necessary means to fix this. If this is considered "unsuccessfully
contact" than yes, this was unsuccessful. But I have no idea why it
should be me who should fix each and any piece of infrastructure. B-)
So please in cases like this contact the team or use the BTS to report
the problem.
Kind regards
Andreas.
