I've CCed Mats, because the best solution is for the maintainer to take care of this :-) Anyone interested in pursuing the process may follow the Developers Reference section "How to salvage a package"; Please note that the maintainer also has rights, so one must wait 21 days after filing the ITS before proceeding with the salvage operation.
