In such cases you better document your intentions in BTS, since that:
- will leave public records of your trials to reach the maintainer.
- will prevent (or coordinate) duplicate hijack efforts if the package had
been really in bad shape and this was the last resort in the light of better
maintenance. Hijacking is not necessary a bad thing[tm] imho if done with
respect&care.
