There is no procedure for forcible orphaning the package. If you have a fix for the bug (the bug log seems to suggest that nobody has a patch at the moment), then please add it to the log; since the bug is severity grave, you can certainly then do a proper NMU. We do not forcibly orphan anything; that's a silly procedure, because all it can do is change a package with a less-than-ideal maintainer into a package with none at all. There is a procedure for hijacking, but this is hardly a case. It's not like a clearly winning patch is being ignored.
