Can a different packager or apprentice upload updates instead of him?

The original bug was filed over 4 months ago and a newer release of Freecell
Solver, than the one available in Debian, was available since 27 September 2015
(about 7 months ago)
- see http://fc-solve.shlomifish.org/docs/distro/NEWS.html . How long should I
still wait? Does anyone know when is the last time that Gergely Risko was
active? How do I tell that based on
https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=risko@debian.org ?

before I do this?
