I'm a Debian developer (a very dormant one ever since I got married,
I'll admit, but nevertheless one). I am rusty with the procedures due to
not having used them for a while, but at least I know where to look and
am familiar with the conventions used. So I'm willing to help. I can
probably even sponsor uploads, if that's what it takes.
