Yes. The ITP should have been closed manually long before. The fact
that this not happened yet is IMHO a sign that the original maintainer
does not care any more for the package (and forgot to orphan it).

You might even consider using the old name for an upload to unstable and
at the same time push a renamed package to experimental via new. This
would enable to keep on working on shiny-server (despite I'm not sure
whether we need to be in a hurry here ... I personally have other things
on my table unfortunately).
Kind regards
Andreas.
