Thanks for suggesting your help!

If you're willing to create a MR on the project on salsa [1] to add you 
name to the uploaders, I would gladly merge this in to officialize your 
status as co-maintainer :)

1: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/smokeping

I don't know if the patch in question was present, but FYI today I 
realized that I had forgotten to push and release the work on the 
package that I had done on smokeping during the last local debian 
meetup. So during the day, I've sent a new package release to make all 
latest work available to unstable. The new releases include some patches 
that also had been sent to salsa before that but were never released, 
like one that removes echoping from the dependencies and another one 
that would fix the ssh probe.

also FYI, I dropped some notes about work that I think should eventually 
be done on the package in 
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/smokeping/-/merge_requests/9#note_727522 
  (we don't *have* to do all of those things, they are just a memory 
dump ;) )

Cheers!
