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?
