I would really welcome if sagemath would become a usable package. The
packaged version (3.0.5) is currently so far behind upstream (4.4.1)
that I doubt anybody wants to use the Debian package.

So I would really love to see sagemath to be team maintained because
packages of that complexity seem to need a team to handle the issues
properly and in time. IMHO Debian Science is a reasonable team (but I'm
personally not able to spend much time into it - checking a package
befor upload, perhaps sponsoring an upload would be possible in case it
is needed).

IN case you want to join the Debian Science team it would be reasonable
to subscribe this list (but CCed for now).
Kind regards
