He already did, and we (I) already contacted him; the maintainer in
question promptly replied (after he ignored the bug reports Peter
submitted) saying he would quickly take care of the package in question
in a matter of days, though nothing happened.
That said we already suggested Peter to just go ahead and NMU the
package, I am not sure why he haven't do it already…
Also, a personal pledge to everybody who's reading this: please don't
attach yourself to your packages like mussels on a rock. If you realize
(or somebody else is making you realize) that you're doing a bad job on
a package *and* there is a willing adopter, just give it up; or talk to
the prospective adopter about some kind of collaboration, or something
on that line.
