I hope you are able to join in. :)

Could be.  I have not had much time to spend on it.

Could be.  Getting the tags migrated was not straight forward.  I hoped
it was correct, but did not verify it.

The age of the Debian and upstream repo sound correct.  There was no
active upstream for many years, and eventually the Debian and SuSe
maintainers put our heads together and created this upstream group.

Given that I do not really expect to have time to process many patches,
I am not sure my preferences should matter much.  I would prefer the
mailing list or the ticket tracking system to avoid forgetting the
patch.
