For what it's worth, I did solicit a sponsor on IRC as suggested.  Although
some brief discussion ensued nothing became of it other than comments similar
to, "Oh, that package... I'm not going to touch it."

I understand the blocks to be as follows:

1) package naming - there is some objection to using "hylafax" as the package
name, however, as yet no prospective sponsor has committed to sponsoring the
package inclusion if the package name is changed to "hylafax+".

2) conflict with mgetty-sendfax - in order for package inclusion to occur there
will necessarily need to be collaboration in the "alternatives" so that users
can switch between hylafax and mgetty-sendfax.  (It is apparently unacceptable
to have conflicting packages in the repository.)  But, again, collaboration is
apparently not easy to come-by.
