About the package:
  - Any text can be used for practice typing, it can also pull text from 
the internet
  - Very useful to practice typing and improve typing speed
  - There are no guided lessons like gtypist at the moment
  - I frequently use this package and hope to contribute to it in future

Pros for packaging:
  - Easy to package
  - No other dependencies
  - Small size
  - No other actively maintained emacs package with comparable features

Cons for packaging:
  - Not urgent, as no other package depends on this

Package maintenance:
  - Hope to maintain this as part of Team emacsen: 
https://salsa.debian.org/emacsen-team/
  - Sponsorship: I need a sponsor for this package
