I'd be happy for you to take over maintainership; I've been very
inactive on the Dosage front for a long time now, so realistically I
can't claim that it's maintained in its current state. I assume you
would also take over the Debian package? I glanced briefly at the
github repo and I see you renamed the `mainline` utility to `dosage`;
this will probably be less confusing for new users, but it might be an
idea to provide a compatibility `mainline` binary for existing users
(possibly with a warning that `mainline` will be going away in the
future).

Anyhow, consider this an announcement of the change of maintainership;
I've copied the dosage-users mailing list on Launchpad to this end.
I'll also update the Launchpad project page etc. to point at your
Github repo when I get a chance.
