FWIW I separately came across this because it was blocking python-decorator
via the failing qiime autopkgtests, and python-decorator is the very last
package in lunar blocking the removal of python2. So I went ahead and
prepared the merge, then found your bug report about it and added it to the
changelog.

The teams marked as responsible for a package in main are the maintainers of
last resort - if the package is buggy and needs significant engineering
work, they have the responsibility to get it fixed. But it's not a
maintainer lock; if a change is obvious and you don't have any reason to
think it will disrupt the team, it's ok to upload.

In this case, there was an incompatibility with new numpy; it is very
unlikely we would solve this incompatibility other than by updating to the
new upstream release. It's always fine to cross-check with the owning team
to confirm, but I wouldn't block on them in such a case.
