You're right.

I won't give those rights too :-D

I second that..
I think you should be the maintainer of it. Also, I think this kinda
of package is better to be in a team way of maintainence otherwise the
lack of time of one doesn't block the package to evolve and this can
be a big deal when we're near of release.
I propose to you send a project request to Alioth for pkg-spca5xx and
you can cite me as sponsor and member of the team if you like.
So everybody will be happy and finally we'll have the package getting
in.
