Ayman is been tracked in MIA database, and he's quite busy these days.

where did you see this? the bts, from a first fast check, show only
interests in new upstream version to be uploaded, not in taking it
over. There is only a proposed NMU 2 months old, and stop.

Please do this statement on a public place easily reachable when
someone searches for information about the package; the best place is
the BTS, for example replying to this bug: #460946 .
Moreover, have you tried to contact the maintainer himself? I'm adding
him here in CC.
If the situation does not evolve in 1/2 week, please contact us back
and we'll see what we can do.
