I'm going to do that [1] for libnet-perl (in ~10 days) but it was not easy
to find a sponsor for that (I had to ask a few times in IRC channels to
find one).
Anyway, NMUing and hijacking are often considered bad style, mainly
because maintainers like to think that "nobody is allowed to correct my
work" and often do *not* think of it as "someone wants to improve our
distribution".

[1] In fact, i'm going to hijack it (this *will* happen, because
mdorman@debian.org bounces), but at first i only wanted to do an NMU.
