On -qa, we tried to define some time ago work-flow for dealing with cases like that (essentially, how to have something "NMU-like" which permits to orphan a package not being the maintainer, without inducing too much steps, too much bottlenecks, etc.). Please take this discussion to -qa if you're interested in helping out; you can start at <http://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2010/05/msg00045.html>.
