what should I do if I want to adopt one orphaned package?

[慕 冬亮 <mudongliangabcd@hotmail.com>]

Dear all,

    I want to adopt one package - Bochs [bochs: IA-32 PC emulator (package info)] which is orphaned since 2011 days. And the current version in sid is 2.6-5.

    The official website shows that the latest version of Bochs is 2.6.9. And the history for bochs is as follows:

• May 3, 2015: Bochs 2.6.8 is now available.
• November 2, 2014: Bochs 2.6.7 is now available.
• June 15, 2014: Bochs 2.6.6 is now available.
• June 1, 2014: Bochs 2.6.5 is now available.
• May 26, 2013: Bochs 2.6.2 is now available.
• April 7, 2013: Bochs 2.6.1 is now available.
• September 2, 2012: Bochs 2.6 is now available.

    What should I do and which document should I read in advance?

    I have been using Debian for three years. I have some knowledge about Debian package development. I only have a little experience in debian software packaging.

    Besides, I have a problem in subscribing debian-devel mailing list with current email. I confirmed the email, but with no any response.

My best regards to you.
