In the past I have maintained some important packages by doing regular
NMUs when the maintainer is not responsive (including emails asking to
take over the package). So just because the *maintainer* hasn't made an
upload in a long time doesn't mean that nobody cares about the package.
If there aren't RC bugs to be fixed and the package is up-to-date, an
unresponsible maintainer still doesn't mean nobody cares about the
package; however it could mean another maintainer (or team maintained)
is desirable.
