I'm sorry, all I really want is to get the updated package to Debian. I have no intention to take over the current maintainers position (I emailed the maintainer on September 21 but did not receive any reply).

I am not very familiar with all the rules of how Debian packages are managed. Could you please explain what I should do in this case if I just want to get the package updated? 

If not ITA, can it be an NMU? Should I create a different bug report against `sponsorship-requests` for that?

Best,

Archisman

You are hijacking the package, unless you have a prior agreement with the
current maintainer, which you need to provide.

And the maintainer change isn't even mentioned in the changelog.
