This is the place I suppose to put such when
suspect a maintainer is not maintaining.
Thus someone could look into that situation.
debian-devel isn’t the right place for this, as has already been explained.
If you think that a maintainer is MIA, the right place to communicate that is
the MIA team; see
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/MIA for details. If you have
noticed that a package is out-of-date, the right place to communicate that is
the bug tracker; check the package’s existing bugs to make sure there isn’t
already a “new version available” bug, and if there isn’t, file a wishlist
bug.
It can't in these cases just wait a couple of years before updating.
Debian is built by volunteers; sometimes people’s priorities change, other
aspects of life take precedence, etc.
