And, yeah, that means I am now Debian Maintainer. Other than giving me more freedom, this helps reduce the workload on Dirk Eddelbuettel, who has been uploading wajig for several years now. He even became an Advocate for my application. This process started several weeks ago when a Debian Developer named Tristan Seligmann signed my key (before applying to be a Maintainer, a Debian Developer needs to sign your key as a way of verifying your identity).
