There are mainly two ways you can persue: either do one-off QA uploads,
or adopt the package.
For the latter option see this page:
https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/#howto-o - basically you are going to
became the new maintainer for that package, coupled with all the
responsability that comes with it:
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/developer-duties.en.html
Alternatively, you can work on single updates, without taking on the
responsability of becoming its maintainer (which you can always do at
a later date), in which case you'd do the so-called "QA uploads", which
are documented here:
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.en.html#nmus-vs-qa-uploads
Either way, you'd have to seek sponsorship for your uploads, for that
read here:
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/new-maintainer.en.html#debian-mentors-and-sponsors

In particuar, looking at the cflow package, it seems Dmitry Bogatov has
been doing exactly what I was talking about, i.e. doing QA uploads to
keep the package on shape, without officially adopting it. It might be
a good idea to contact him before doing anything, to reduce the chances
of clashes, therefore I'm CCing Dmitry here.
