after the adoption, things become better, not worse, so take it easy.
I have checked the package prepared by wenheping, it fulfill my rules:
1. has a watch file
2. lintian clean
3. good document in debian/changelog
4. correct debian/copyright.
so I upload it.
And I don't think wenheping is not a qualified debian package maintainer.
and last question, why wenheping ask me sponsor this package?
just because we live in the same timezone, so we have much more
common time on the IRC. Don't think too much on this, :)
We powered Debian, We are improving the quality of Debian, not reducing.

as in the NMU rule, give the maintainer one or two week will be
better, and it's not a critical bug, so take it easy (again).
