I would have happily accepted the offer immediately and would have joined the team if upstream had not been very skeptical about maintaining XBMC in Debian at all [1]. I made promises regarding the way of maintaining the package and I think it would look bad if right when starting th maintenance I put it under the umbrella of Multimedia Team and bring a team of additional maintainers aboard. I have just subscribed to the Multimedia mailing lists and I'll post my introduction to join the team. I just would like to join with XBMC later, after I discussed it with upstream in advance and they (and Multimedia Team, too) are happy about it.
