Matthias implicitely asked for people to step up for taking=20
maintainership for the various projects he was maintaining.=20

There is no(t yet a) conflict between two developers wanting=20
maintainership of the same package. In the case that there was, I'd=20
expect Matthias to decide or leave it to the ones working on it=20
recently.

I fail to see how that relates to your situation. If the former=20
maintainer (I'd think this would be Stefan Taferner) did the same as=20
Matthias now, and you stepped up as e.g. Zack did now, you would have=20
taken over maintainership from Stefan.
If Stefan silently went away and didn't send such a mail and you=20
"declared" yourself maintainer after a few weeks of working on KMail=20
alone, then, well, you were the new maintainer by developer decision=20
:-)

AFAIK, you asked to be called "Adoptor of KMail" instead of "Core=20
developer and former maintainer" in the about box.
