Packages like this should have a message to the current maintainer
with a proposal to co-maintain or orphan+adopt followed by an ITH
(intent to hijack) if there is no response within a reasonable period
of time.[1]
If no one is interested in stepping forward to do this and deal with
the package, then the status quo is the best that can be done. While
it is suboptimal, it's the best we can do until someone wants to take
over.
