I'm up for sponsoring it, but the following is something I want (or
would like, anyway) to see changed before:

>   * New debian/source.lintian-overrides to override warning about googlecode.

As pabs said, that's not a thing to override.  "currently no new
upstream code hosting" is not a good reason.  Anyway, please nag
upstream about it.

* Vcs-* points to ajk's private repository.  maybe copy it to
  collab-maint or somewhere and maintain it there?  If you don't want to
  maintain it in git, then please drop those fields.
  + please use https and cgit in Vcs-Browser
* please remove the trailing whitespace in debian/control:15
* the patch is marked as not-needed.  why?  actually that's a change
  that ough to be forwarded (even if lintian nowadays doesn't care
  anymore)
* in the changelog "add myself as maintainer", when referring to the
  control file seems kida imprecise, maybe use "set" instead of "add"
* consider enabling the hardening (adding this in d/rules
  `export DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS=hardening=+all` is enough)
* I tried to build it and it fails,
