It's normally not a good thing to do. "ITP" is also not what you mean here, BTW. > Wishlist bugs are submitted, etc. And they are just wishes.

No, that does not necessarily mean that. It may also mean that he does not have the time to work on it. Packaging a newer version is not always trivial. > If not possible, why? What does the Debian Policy state? Actually it's not in the debian policy (which is about packages themselves, not maintainer relationships), but in the developer's reference, chapter "5.11. Non-Maintainer Uploads (NMUs)". Please read it carefully, and rather use debian-mentors for such kind of questions.
