I suggest you read over the salvaging criteria I linked to earlier.

Note that salvaging a package is not a fast process and the current 
maintainer has plenty of opportunities to stop it by committing to 
actively maintain it themselves.

Smaller problems can be handled by an NMU (Non-Maintainer Upload).  
Indeed, the last upload of dillo was an NMU.  However, switching the 
upstream of a package is beyond the scope of something that an NMU 
normally handles.

Any Debian Contributor or Debian Maintainer can salvage a package.  
They do need a Debian Developer to sponsor the upload.
