I have in mind, for example, the ifupdown script. The maintainer has not made a maintainer upload for years, and so maintenance of the package has been proceding by NMU. But NMUs cannot do more than fix a few kinds of crucial bugs. It is clear that the maintainer doesn't want to maintain this package and has had other priorities for a long time. There is nothing wrong with this. Other people have volunteered to maintain the package, and been rebuffed or ignored.
