Great! It would be nice to have the package back in again.
As for Debian the project, you don't need to be a Debian developer (DD)
to maintain a package, you only need a DD to review and upload it. For
this team, I'm not sure which requirement they have, though, I doubt
that being a DD is required. Some useful information about the team is
probably here [1].
I'm not a team member, so I'm not of much help with how this team
operates.

The package was removed from unstable on 2021-12-17, where the reason was > RoQA; Depends on python 2, unmaintained This is also bug #938438 [2]. As noted in the bug, upstream has already ported the package to Python 3, so this is no longer a blocker. I would appreciate if this package was reintroduced into Debian. Is someone from the team willing to maintain the package? Can I submit an mr in salsa and have it reintroduced that way? Can I salvage the package and take over the maintenance myself?
