Yeah. Back when I added myself as an Uploader to the bzr package in
Debian, I decided not to change the Maintainer from Rob until we knew
what happened to him. I still don't know. On the other hand, I dropped
out from maintaining the bzr package as well.

Any other Debian Developer could sponsor the upload as well. I'm
available, if Jeff is busy, for example. I don't have time go get
involved with the package as a full maintainer, but I can sponsor
uploads.
