No. I do the maintenance tasks since some time. David and Noèl both
dropped any maintenance, except that Noèl is the sponsor.

Not completely. There were some problems (with several Debian packages)
in the past, why it was just a waste of time to try to make a new xMule
package. These issues are gone and there is just a patch hell left,
which I first want to try to solve in upstream, before I make a new
package. I saw your mail, but I'm not sure, what is the best way to
handle the situation. I would prefer a temporary remove of xmule from
the archives, so I don't block your work. Implementing the changes you
suggested in the OP after fixing all outstanding issues, preventing an
updated package, is not a problem.
