I didn't know about this group. If you want to help with the package,
we can add debichem to uploaders.

As Christophe said, I also don't follow all lists, it's just
impossible. I follow debian-devel from time to time, then debian lists
and if I want to package something, I do ITP bug and then bring it to
the team that I find the best. So if you want to help with a package,
imho you should talk to us, or reply to the ITP bug. And I would say,
yeas, thanks, go ahead with the packaging.

So, if you want to help, I have no problems if you start taking care
of the package from now on. For example there is a new upstream
release that should be tested and uploaded.
