Does the Debian team have any estimate of how long the transition is
likely to take? Once you have this time estimate, it might be worth
discussing with the motu-release team members whether they feel it's a
good idea or not to proceed.

I strongly suspect that if you put out a call for volunteers on the
mailing list and provided regular status updates then you'd be
surprised about how quickly things manage to get done on our side.
It's been my experience in the past that people are quite willing to
step up and get such tasks done.

Regards,
Iain
