Some questions, that might serve as a checklist for others dealing
with possibly MIA developers:
- did you try to contact the person? at least 2 or 3 times with (just
a indicative measure) a couple of weeks between each message?
- did you ping a bug on the BTS asking for its resolution?
- did you file a bug on the BTS for activities that signal lack of
maintainership (like new upstream release)?
- did you try to contact his sponsor (if it's a non-DD)?
- did you google for information about the person? In this case,
Emanuele has a blog that was last updated at the end of July 2009.
- did you read Developers Reference about what's the best procedures
about perspective MIA developers (included the email address to
contact)?
In this particular case, I see that Emanuele is neglecting some Debian
activities, but I see him active on Ubuntu: try to contact him (let it
be public, it's better, for example opening/replying to a bug on the
BTS) and see how it goes.
