I encourage you to start the DM process no matter what.  Taking
ownership of Botan is, of course, necessary to ensure continued presence
of monotone in Debian.  So I approve of your decision and I will sponsor
the Botan package for you until you become DM.

Co-maintainers are most welcome.  Richard, what say you?
