Well, all I've done is produce a package. I think it complies with
policy and all the new-fangled stuff like multi-arch, and it is source
and binary lintian clean. Upstream considers that the project is
complete, so I think the maintenance burden should be very low. I get
the impression that it only supports OSS right now (unfortunately), so
if I find myself with some free time, I might try and hack a
PulseAudio back-end for it (but I'm not sure how free for that sort of
hacking I'll be over the next few months). In any case, I don't mind
looking after the package.

That sounds like a good idea.

Yes; I'll have to look into how the git repo is structured. Should I
update the control file to point to some future X-Vcs for this
package, once I have had a look, then? And should the Maintainer field
point at the team?
My main concern in joining the team is one of commitment: I don't want
to sign myself up for giving time to help out with all sorts of SDL
issues, not because I'm not keen to help, but because I think it would
be dishonest to make such a commitment when I'm not sure I have the
free time to do so. Of course, team maintenance does seem to reduce
the work burden for all concerned, so in that sense, I would be keen
to join.
Many thanks for your reply,
