In general, you will want to follow the recommendations in the Debian
Developer's Reference, section 7.4 "Dealing with inactive and/or
unreachable maintainers."

The first step is to contact the maintainer directly, while following
this most important recommendation from the Reference: "One last word:
please remember to be polite. We are all volunteers and cannot dedicate
all of our time to Debian."
