Yes you are totally right. Its not in my interest to do an
upload just because of the maintainer field.

So lets do it like this:
I will contact the upstream author in the next week and then
I will write you an email in which I decide if I will adopt
it. Is that ok for you? Or maybe there are good alternatives
for this program so we are able to drop the package from the
pool?
