Is there any interest in having someone take over maintenance of libid3tag? There are several patches floating around in various places [1] that should be rolled into an official release. There are also some issues related to handling of broken iTunes tags that I'd like to fix and don't see any patches for. I'm happy to volunteer.

Those are patches we added to the package, the difference between our version and upstream's version. And there hasn't been any activity upstream for a while.
We really only have 1 open bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/350578
We have fixed this bug long before the gentoo bug report. This is http://bugs.debian.org/304913 http://bugs.debian.org/480187

I was under the impression that you've mailed the debian list about this, and not the upstream list. Sorry about that.

Yeah, it looks like Gentoo has the most complete set of patches. However, there are a few issues with them:
