Everybody who has access to the bugtracking system can merge bugreports.
And as you only need to have mail access you're probably able to merge them.

Are you going to take over that package, too? If not I might take
it in a few weeks when my upgrading procedure is finished.

Provides: mdutils
This way the new package would completely replace the old package.
