Hi Eric,
you can request the takeover of an abandoned project at sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Abandoned%20Project%20Takeovers
They'll transfer the ownership if the current owner does not answer during
nine weeks (AFAIK). This wouldn't solve the copyright issues, however you
could push back your patches to a canonical location.
