The primary reason why I felt this to be good was that I have a need for
it in my package: audacious. Audacious upstream (also part of atheme)
uses libguess. We have it disabled in the debian package for now. I
wanted to enable that. Hence I wanted to maintain this package.
Moreover, I am quite good in maintaining shared libs, and I just
completed the packaging fully lintian-clean, with symbols control files,
etc etc.

So if you feel doubtful about its future in the case of charset
detection, feel free to hand over the ITP to me and I'll get the package
into the NEW queue within a week.

If not, then just mention that you are willing to continue with your ITP
and I'll point you out to a few sponsors.

Regards,

Bilal Akhtar.
