Right, which is exactly what was uploaded?
We have a problem within Debian in general of many maintainers piling up
changes in git but never uploading it; in some teams (like the Perl
team, where uploads pretty much only happen when there is a new upstream
release) is quite worse than others..

Right. If you plan to keep working on adopting it, by all means please
do retitle it to ITA as see fit. Just that until you actually
"complete" the adoption people might come around and "touch" it every so
often.
My assumption when I saw it closed after 1+ year of silence was that you
weren't interested in it anymore... :)
