I did expect others to complain. that usually happens when I offer my
packaging skills without at the same time accepting the responibilities
of sponsorship. Sponsorship was not required for me when entering Debian
and I believe the sponsoring program to be broken. If you want to
discuss that then let's do it somewhere else than in this bugreport
(suggestion: debian-project@ ).
Andreas: Feel free to sponsor the package yourself, if you like. I won't
take that responsibility. Call me weird if you like, it won't change my
decision.
Floris: You describe the package failing adoption for years, but do not
clearly state if you are in the process of becoming a Debian developer
or not.
I offer to adopt the package and hand it back if/when Floris becomes an
official Debian developer.
For the record: I do _not_ offer to sponsor the package using the
current Debian rules/manners of sponsorship.

I don't know the "small groups setup" you mention - could you please
point me to more on that?

P.S.
Please don't cc me - I am subscribed to debian-edu.
