Since probably no-one has the old package name installed, just rename
everything, retitle the bug and re-upload.

Ok great.

Try contacting the site admins about the mailing list:
https://01.org/about/contact-us
I was able to find some email addresses by doing web searches:
The maintainer of the project:
Darren Wilson < darren.p.wilson@intel.com>
Author of the sole blog post about Clear Sans:
Gail R Frederick <gail.r.frederick@intel.com>
If upstream is unreachable it might not be a good idea to package the
project, unless you want to become upstream.

DFSG item 2 applies to all packages in Debian, fonts need to come with
source too. That could be the binary TTF files or the SVG files but it
is much more likely to be something else. Fonts often require
proprietary software to build unfortunately, looking at the SVG files
some metadata indicates that may be the case. To be sure though, you
need to find out upstream development processes.
