Hi.
Have you checked :
http://packages.qa.debian.org/w/w3c-markup-validator.html ?
This is the main reference for Debian packages maintenance tasks, IMHO.
It states :
This package has been orphaned. This means that it does not have
a real maintainer at the moment. Please consider adopting this
package if you are interested in it. Please see bug number
#573497 for more information.
So, I think your first care should be for
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=573497
There's a procedure for declaring your intent to adoption of a package
that has been orphaned (ITA). I suggest that you read the paragraph on
the "O" status in the bottom of http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/
Hope this helps,
Good luck.
Best regards,
