Many thanks! Since you seem to know what you are doing much more than I do, and since you seem to still actively use that grabber, unlike me: would you be interested to officially take over maintainership for this grabber?

What are my tasks then? Handling merge requests, re-viewing code and fixing bugs I guess. I know that from my daytime and Debian work. I could do that.

Yes, exactly. To be honest, it's more like being prepared to do these things, than actually doing this things. There is a very low frequent number of issues or PRs for this grabber.
