Of course there's no real reason we can't take it slow by putting it in
contrib, and then graduating from there. It just seems like an
unnecessary and complicated interim step. Either way, I do think it's
worth saving the commit history by doing a real merge.
I have no problem starting off in contrib. I was asking more about the
logistics of getting there.
As a non-user, I am totally fine with it. I think the burden is not that
high, and you have already promised to deal with ongoing maintenance
issues.
Indeed, I'm more than happy to help with maintenance. I have one or two
fixes/enhancements on my list, in fact.
