Well, I haven't worked with a team yet, but I might give it a shot :) By
the way, I wanted to adopt libraw1394 because I also NMUd coriander and
libdc1394, whose current Debian maintainer is Peter de Schrijver
<p2 at debian.org>. And I noticed that the homepage of libraw1394 is
http://www.linux1394.org/, which is also the home of libiec61883, whose
Debian packages are being maintained by Marcio Roberto Teixeira
<marciotex at gmail.com>. Maybe you already have, but if not, you could
extend a similar invitation to Marcio and Peter.
