For somewhat nostalgic reasons on my part, I'm looking at this package
and thinking about adopting it. It looks like the package has not been
touched in some time, but upstream still seems to be active (commits
within the last day, for example).
Petter, if you'd rather adopt it, let me know. Otherwise, assuming
it is in reasonably decent shape to start with, which it seems to
be, I'll adopt it.
