Suggestions on how to "upstream" mailcap?

Hello everybody, it has been a long time I have not posted here… I adopted the mime-support package in 2012 and in 2020 I split it into media-types, which contains just /etc/mime.types, and then mailcap, which contains the rest. At each stable release, media-types is quite well synchronised with the IANA's list of media types. I am less proud of my work on mailap. To be honest, I have neglected it. At the moment it is a Debian native package, and to give it more chances to keep up, I would like to turn it into an upstream project that has better chance to attract contributors beyond Debian and its derivatives. Mailcap is mostly single Perl script, plus some documentation and Debian-specific triggers which are not essential out of the context of a packaging system. I have been wondering if it would make sense to distribute it as App::Mailcap on CPAN. And I would be happy to have your feedback, about this idea.
