With "maintain" I really mean take care of the package and write your
name in the Uploaders field. But your offer is very much appreciated,
it's always good to have another sponsor available!

Cool, thanks for your quick attention! I'm on vacation next week but
will review it after that next weekend if nobody else did by then.

If you are new to packaging you should start with a package which is not
already packaged and also not a library. The only one of this type is
flintqs. This one does not have an upstream other than Sage, so you
should download it from
http://www.sagemath.org/packages/upstream/flintqs/
also take a look at the patches in the spkg from
http://www.sagemath.org/packages/standard/
It can be extracted with "tar -jxvf *.spkg"
The packaging should be done in the debian-science git.
I'll maybe not be able to answer questions next week, in that case just
ask this list.
Cheers,
Tobias
