What to about old-old ITP?

[Mike Schacht <mschacht@alumni.washington.edu>]

I was going to package kdirstat but discovered that someone else had
also posted an ITP, though it is some 240 days old. I emailed the poster
and he said he no longer intended to package it, and it is okay with him
if I do. Should I just file another ITP? Must anything formal be done
about the old one? 

What generally is done about stale ITPs? Is package adoption formally
enforced in any way, or is it just managed by informal consensus?


Thanks,
