You can leave his name as Maintainer, you don't even need to NMU the
package, you simply build the package with :
$ debuild -m'Dale Scheetz <dwarf@polaris.net>'
I'm doing this for many sponsors: Ashley Clark, Christian Marillat, Ben
Hendrickson, Frankie Fisher and Denis Barbier. They have all done a good
work but they still aren't debian developers. It's time to open again
the new maintainer team (how far is it ?).
