I strongly urge you to maintain the package as part of the Debian Nagios Maintainer Group. https://salsa.debian.org/nagios-teamI've already done that privately a month or so ago, along with advising them I would be doing the ITP it they were not interested in doing maintaining it themselves. They weren't interesting in packaging nagios4, and were fine with me doing it.
My point is that you maintain the package within the team, not that other members in the team maintain the package instead.
Most other Nagios related packages are maintained in the team, so it's the obvious place to maintain nagios4 too.
The team is very understaffed hence the lack of manpower to also maintain nagios4 along with icinga, icinga2 and related packages.
Packages such as these are best maintained under the umbrella of a team, to make it easier for others to join and help.
