As discussed in private with Mark (he's a coworker), I will serve as his
comaintainer & sponsor for this package.
Moreover, I'm adding the security team to the loop, since bugzilla3 was
removed per their request.
We know that bugzilla has had a troubled history in Debian, so we'll be
careful. One area in particular that was problematic was a strained
relationship with upstream (aiui, the result of having an unmaintained
vulnerable package in Debian for some time); Mark has already been in
some contact with them.
If you still have reservations, feel free to raise them — before we
upload this (soonish) would work better :)
Thanks,
Faidon
