intend to adopt calc, so does someone else--need advice

Greetings,
I'm an avid Linux user and programmer, and I'd like to become a Debian
Developer. As the first step in this process, I'd like to take the
calc source package and maintain it via a sponsor.
I have downloaded it, updated the it against a more recent Debian
Policy version. I also fixed the only bug against the package (a
wishlist that there be a file included in the documentation). I have
built the package, which is lintian clean, and tested on three
different Debian machines of two different architectures; it's ready
to go.
Here's THE SNAG: I was sitting down to write to this list to request a
sponsor, I thought I'd check the qa page for the package one more to
make sure I hadn't missed anything. Bug 188998 is from David Rios
(drios@ne.com.co) on April 14 saying that he intends to adopt it. I
tried e-mailing him at that address, but it bounced with a "User
Unknown" error. I looked in the Debian Developer key ring, and I
don't think he's there.
If anyone has any advice as to whether or not it would be ethical to
pursue getting a sponsor and uploading this package, I'd appreciate
it.
Thank you,
Sincerely
Craig Steffen
