I'd like to sponsor this.

I assume it's okay for me to work out of your collab-maint repo.

In #847843, Mike Gabriel suggests team maintenance of xtrkcad.  Have you
got in touch with him about maintaining xtrkcad together?  Is he aware
of your ITA?  #847843 is itself almost an ITA, and it was submitted only
very recently, so you should be sure that your upload doesn't treat on
Mike's toes.

Just a reminder that you will have to submit a bug against
ftp.debian.org to have this actually take effect (post-adoption).

Lintian tags you can easily fix:

    I: xtrkcad source: vcs-field-uses-insecure-uri vcs-git git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/xtrkcad.git
    I: xtrkcad: spelling-error-in-binary usr/bin/xtrkcad Minumum Minimum

In the future, after the stretch freeze, consider a package split:

    I: xtrkcad: arch-dep-package-has-big-usr-share 16352kB 92%

It looks like you used wrap-and-sort -- please add this to the
changelog, so a future contributor knows which options to use.  E.g.

    * Run wrap-and-sort -abst

You made changes to d/rules not documented in the changelog.

After making further changes, don't forget to re-run `dch -r`, and
please remove the moreinfo tag from this bug to put it back in my queue.
