If he showed no care at all for it, I would presume he would also be
OK with you adopting the package? You don't need him to orphan it
first, if he tells you (e.g. in an email), "OK, it is yours", you can
make an upload changing maintainer to you, and it is not (socially) a
hijack.

If he actively vetoed you adopting the package, well, there's
something I don't understand, so I can't express an opinion.
