Usually you flag it out of date first, maybe post your updated variant using some paste service and link it there. After a while, like two weeks, you mail the maintainer. If he doesn't respond you ask on this list for someone to orphan the package (provide a link to it). Usually it's orphaned in a matter of hours, then you can adopt and update it. HTH Philipp
