As I said in my first mail to the bug I don't really plan to adopt it,
just to tidy it up, as the whole package is RC-buggy in my opinion.
I have sent patches to the BTS where a clean patch was possible for the
bug report, but I have much more done in my local copy. I can let you
have my latest source if you let me know how you want it. It is an svn
repo that starts from the current unstable package at the moment.
I would be interested in working with you until the packages are in a
decent shape again, how do you feel about this? My current version (I
think) fixes all the bugs that do not require a major overhaul of the
code. It also leaves the version tracking etc. problems as it appears
the problem is within the code that generates the files that
apt-listbugs uses to get the bug states, and I do not have access to
that code. I believe that it runs on merkel, so maybe a DD can access it
and make it publically available.

No, unfortuanately not. I was going to get a QA upload done, but as you
are adopting then you can seek out a proper sponsor.
