May want to give it a little time to see if someone picks it up and maintains it. I've seen these announcements in the past on packages and while the person who used to maintain it can't anymore, someone else picks it up. In the meantime, if you want to try other replacement packages, that might be a good idea too. Just in case no one picks it up. Dale :-) :-)
