In fact this was a good hint. John, I have no idea whether you know the
Debian Med project[1] but if you feel good with team maintaining your
ITPed package the Debian Med team would be happy to welcome you. In
case you like this idea please read the Debian Med policy[2] which explains
what this group maintenance means.
For the moment I just added a paragraph about python-hl7 at the "Medical
data" section of our tasks pages[3].

I'm not sure whether this is a burning issue if you just want to package
the current version. However, if this is a call for help we have Git
experts lurking on this list (not me personally).

Hmmm, Unit tests would be a nice feature. In the ITP you are listed as
maintainer *and* upstream - so what about reimplementing these tests
into the new version? While this is also not urgent for packaging it
makes prefectly sense to profit from tests.

As far as I know BSD and MPL license are compatible. So just mentioning
this fact in the debian/copyright file should be sufficient.
Kind regards and be assured that we will support your effort of
packaging python-hl7
