I'm definitely MIA on it, and the bulk of code maintenance is being assured by Mathieu alone, including migration to Python 3 (thanks!). Having someone else would be good, and I think it might be a piece of infra that might be interesting to work on even for people that don't have a lot of Debian insider knowledge.
