No.
You shouldn't just upload a package only changing the maintainer.
In a case like this I expect a full refresh of the packaging, and fixing
all (which is one) bugs.

Also, the changelog targets UNRELEASED, and has an ubuntu versioning,
which makes me think/speculate you didn't even try to build/test the
package under debian.

Furthermore, looking at the ITA bug #809234 I see quite some noise to
just set the owner, so I wonder when you read at least
https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer


At the end: "maintaining a package requires time and skills. Please only
adopt this package if you will have enough time and attention to work
on it."  (that's from the MIA template used when orphaning packages).


I don't really want to be negative, or demoralize you, is just that we
need to have some kind of minimal, tiny (eventually useless..) assurance
that you have some commitment in this.
