Try sending an email to upstream asking him if you can participate to
the upstream code. This would be, IMO, the best solution as all
distributions/users would benefit (directly) from your work.
Else, if upstream is still unresponsive, you can apply the changes in
Debian using quilt(1) patches; you should never change the code
directly.

It means he is "Missing In Action": Marvin tried to get in touch with
him many times, but got no response.
Happy hacking!
