Did you actually request it though?

yes, I am not debating this fact at all: debian.org is currently its "home".
There is other software in a similar situation (eg: fakeroot)

What I am suggesting, is that since this has clearly become a "greater
than debian" project, and in order to foster even more widespread
adoption, it would probably benefit both them and others, to put it up
on sourceforge (or somewhere similar. savanna.gnu.org or whatever, if
they prefer?)

Nothing is lost by asking, hmm?
