Personally, I don't even know what this module does :) so I can't
maintain it, and in debian we usually refuse to have only "non-human"
maintainers (without any "real" ones).
What I can offer you is "mentoring" in svn management and python
modules packaging, both now and for futures requests, but I won't step
in as maintainer :)
Kindly,
