Just go ahead and upload this to DELAYED/7-day[1] instead, please.  It
looks like excellent work and if the maintainer's been dead that long,
the odds are great that he will either:

A) Not reply; or
B) Reply and say something like, "I'll get to it this weekend".  Six
months will pass and he still won't have gotten to it.

Please upload this good work.  findutils is too important a package to
be left in this lousy state.

[1] In case you weren't aware of this feature:
$ ssh auric.debian.org ls /org/ftp.debian.org/incoming/DELAYED/
0-day  1-day  2-day  3-day  4-day  5-day  6-day  7-day  8-day  9-day README  daypasses.sh
