First I hear of all that is today, after the fact. Did I miss some prior communication somehow? If not, then please elaborate a bit on the kind of collaboration you want. [holding back on answering the rest of the mail until above is more clear]
Answer about the missed prior communication :() 3 may 2014, Julian Taylor files #746787 asking for a new upstream release (eh, that was for ipython and I'm aiming for jupyter, which is ex-ipython!) ; () 1 september 2015, Pirate Praveen files #797698, asking for a new version ;
() 5 october 2015, David Prévot notes that #797698 affects owncloud ;() 16 november 2015, Thomas Goirand comments #797698 that he also needs a higher version and asked if he could do the work -- he didn't get a reply (at least in the bug) ; () 1 june 2016, Christophe Troestler complains in #797698 that owncloud in Debian is stuck to a older version (here the situation is cloudy [pun intended], because the same day David Prévot removes the indication that this bug affects owncloud...)
Answer about the meaning of collaboration : I mean work together (in fact, that's precisely what the Latin roots of the word mean). And by together, I don't mean always together. Just that several hands cooperate to get things done. If one hand is resting, the other can do whatever is needed alone.
I hope that clears things as requested, Snark on #debian-js
