Request for sponsoring Parlatype -- audio player for transcription

Dear Debian Multimedia Maintainers,

I'm looking for a reviewer or sponsor of my package Parlatype which is a 
minimal audio player that helps you to transcribe speeches, interviews, 
lyrics etc. It's based on GStreamer and GTK+.

It shows the waveform of the audio and I am not aware of any other 
comparable tool in Debian that does that. A similar program is 
Play-it-slowly, but Parlatype offers helpers for transcription, like 
timestamps (drag'n'drop), rewind on pause etc.

Just to clarify: I'm also the upstream author. I filed already ITP and 
RFS bugs here:

ITP: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=868886
RFS: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=867727

I was not aware of the multimedia packaging team before, my first intent 
was to maintain it myself, i.e. not in a team. I hope that somebody from 
this team is interested and can give me some guidance how to proceed.

Thank you
Gabor Karsay
