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
