That looks like quite an involved process with an uncertain outcome ...
The process may look involved at first, but it's usually not that much
work after the initial formalities. Why do you think the outcome is
uncertain?
Is that the only viable option at the moment? Adopt it myself?
I'm afraid that's how it works for most packages. People who use the
software and have the skills to maintain it usually do it.
You can also pay someone to maintain it for you. ;)

Dominik
