How to get a package updated?

[notebook <notebook22312@gmail.com>]

Hello,

< I'm completely new to this so I appreciate any pointer in the right direction. >

I'm working on the "Gjiten" app ([1]). It was kind of abandoned and used Gtk2.
I upgraded it to Gtk3 and did some further development on it (see [2]).

How can I get the repos updated with my new version? The original maintainer has no time to work on anything in this regard.
