In future please use the debian-mentors mailing list for this sort of question.

As this package is not used by any other package in Debian, is a JSON
library/tool and many other JSON libraries/tools exist, is
unmaintained both in upstream and in Debian, and only has a few users
according to popcon, I think the best option would be to remove the
package from Debian rather than to update it.
https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=jaula
If you use jaula and don't want it removed, please take a look at our
guide for package maintainers.
https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers
If you agree with the removal, you can file a removal request using
this command, select RoQA:
reportbug ftp.debian.org
PS: it is a good idea to work on packages that you use, including
adopting orphaned packages or helping out with maintained packages.
The how-can-i-help tool can help you find opportunities to contribute,
and the Debian website lists lots of different ways to contribute to
Debian.
