Hi,
What you're going to need to do if you want to take over maintenance of the
package is either become full-blown Debian developers yourselves, i.e. get
in the New Maintainer queue[1] and wait patiently (it can take a little while), or seek out a sponsor to upload your packages for you (or you can do both).
It's fairly demonstrable that the package has been orphaned by its current
maintainer, so it shouldn't be a big deal for someone from the QA team to
file a WNPP bug orphaning the package, then it's up for grabs.
To get a sponsor, you're best enquiring on the debian-mentors mailing list.

Good luck.
