Thank you for taking a look at the package. Yes it makes sense that it should be within this group, but this group is for DD's.
As you are aware that I am a Debian Contributor, and I cloned the repo based on recommendation https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1057378
I have other ITA's in progress so I am now confused how to move forward.

 Yes I am interested in adopting this package.
 
 My understanding, I need to do QA upload now and later once I get access to the repository I do upload with closing the ITA.

 Can you guide me on this transition?

There has been a SOVERSION update to this package before without the need of experimental upload. This is a version bump only with the exception that
sqlcipher updated its build system to be in sync with sqlite.

The need of SOVERSION update will let me backport this library to trixie if needed.
There is a discussion of choosing the soversion on upstream by DD's on https://github.com/sqlcipher/sqlcipher/issues/488

Yes this needs to be removed.

Please make this a QA upload for now and leave the Vcs in the debian
group. It is not good practise to move the Vcs every so often - that is
why that group exists. A sponsor will likely grant you access when you
got your first upload into the archive. If you really want to adopt the
package, you have to close the ITA bug with the changelog in one of the
next uploads, which should then target unstable. But before that, a
transition has to be started with the Release Team.

Also, this has to be experimental because you are changing the
SOVERSION and consequently the library name.

There is still a lintian-overrides file which only has comments now.
Either you do not ship it or you have to change something else.
