I contacted Christian for other personal matters, and asked about the
situation of txt2tags (and in general of his involvement in packaging)
and he said that is a package he would love to keep maintaining (so no
orphaning) but the time constraints are really twisting him.
I suggested a co-maintainership (and using mentors.debian.net as a way
to obtain a sponsor, if Christian is busy and can't do it) and he
didn't reply.
Anyhow, since I think that would be a rather "happy" evolution, my
suggestion to you is to prepare an updated package, with Christian
still as maintainer and you listed in Uploaders, that contains all the
fixed and improvements you see fit.
Then please try to reping Christian (via bugs and personal emails,
even adding a link to source package for his inspection); if in a week
no replies will come, then upload to mentors.d.n and search for a
sponsor on debian-mentors@l.d.o .
Hope this give you a nice resolution path.
Regards,
Sandro
