Hi,

I am really sorry not to have been able to answer sooner to this
message, but I wanted to be sure of what I could do before answering
anything.

I would opt for this option, as I don't think I would be able to
maintain a package alone, but I'd really like to help (at least as a
first step).

That is really nice from you, and I'm really happy to accept your
proposal.

Regarding your requirements:

I have to read again parts of the documentation, but I know where to look for.
I have just subscribed to d-d-annouce.

Ok..

That is what I intend to do as a co-maintainer

I really don't know if I will one day become a DD, but I am already
helping the Debian French Translation team, and responsible for a few
translations.

My gpg key hasn't yet been signed by anyone, but I'm sure I can meet
someone one day in the near future if it is really important.

Now, Micah, it's up to you. If you feel I can help you in anyway with
this package.
In practice, I think we could create a new Alioth project for this, what
do you think?

Cheers,
Julien
