There are no written rules, personally I would write a mail saying you want to 
become a co-maintainer, and then when he says ok, apply for the necessary 
rights in pkgdb.

If he does not respond in a few days (which I do not say he will do, but that 
happens some time). Send a mail to this list complaining about it, then I'm 
sore someone (me for example) will try to get things sorted out.

That is great news (not about the grub bug, but that you know how to solve all 
others)!

Keep up the good work.
