But if you want to give away PD packaging and maybe lead me a bit through the new-maintainer queue, I would be willing to maintain PD or just do some Non-Maintainer-Uploads of better checked PD packages than the current one.
There are several ways to solve it, the easiest way for me would be just to reuse your packages and upload them under my name, this should be pretty painless if the packages are in good state.
The new maintainer stuff is a bit painful, so if you want to do it, you have to read through the documentation how to apply. I will of course help you in every way that it is possible as debian developer. (Beiing sponsor, or whatever they call it). But you have to guide yourself throught the process. I think that is one reason they make it that hard, they want to make sure that you really want to be a Debian developer.
