Request to Adopt a Package

[Schöke, Karsten <Karsten.Schoeke@geobasis-bb.de>]

Hello,

I'm currently a DM and was approached by the developer of the rear [1] software to ask if I could take over maintenance of the rear package in Debian [2], as it hasn't been maintained for about four years and is therefore quite outdated.
I contacted the current maintainer, Frédéric Bonnard, via frediz@debian.org on July 11 and September 4, but unfortunately, I didn't receive a response.
Does anyone know what's going on with Frédéric?
What is the current Debian process for adopting the package?
What further steps do I need to take?

Thanks very much
Karsten
