I want to be able to immediately respond to future problems in this
package. I'm fine with putting Debian Med team as maintainer, but not
my personal ID (maximum as Uploader since I do not have any personal
packages).
Do you think this would be the appropriate action (which I personally
would even prefer over debian/ space)? The conservative criteria
are fulfilled.
Kind regards
Andreas.
