I didn't received that message (I probably should have mentioned
in my ITP that I'm not subscribed to the list).

I have also fixed lintian errors and other minor stuffs, and I have
setup a repository, which could be moved to collab-maint.

Finally, i've uploaded that new package.

The main problem seems that upstream isn't very active, as he didn't
upload any update since I packaged it.

I'm not using the packages myself, so you can take it over. I can remain
co-maintainer if you want some help (we still need a sponsor).

Did he get in touch with upstream, to get those patches merged ?
