I wasn't planning on it (at least not initially), but maybe we could
start co-maintaining them or something if you're interested?

Yes, it's now available from
<http://sentinel.dk/linux/debian/packages/libvisual/>.
And apt-get'able with:
deb http://sentinel.dk/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://sentinel.dk/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
It is lintian clean and the packages I have made available are built in
a pbuilder chroot environment, since building libvisual on my 'normal'
installation complains a bit because I have a mix of nvidia and
nvidia-dev packages installed alongside xlibmesa-gl and
xlibmesa-gl-dev.
As this is my very first attempt of packaging a library and dev package,
critique and comments are very welcome.
Btw, congratulations on your status as new Debian Developer, I noticed
you were approved last week.
Best regards,
