I'd like to sponsor this.

For an adoption, we generally want to see further improvements to the
package so that we can be confident you have a genuine interest in
continuing to maintain it.  If your adoption is merely changing the
Maintainer: field, we can't be confident that you are unlikely to
abandon the package.  It is better for the package to be orphaned, so
anyone can make a QA upload, than have an inactive maintainer.

Could you take a look through the packaging and see what else could be
improved, please?  For example, there are some Lintian tags emitted.
