Hi, I sent a pull request to upstream earlier this year to fix a PAM related issue (see also: Gentoo bug #774729), but the repo has since been archived [1]. Looking at the commit history, I see that there's only been a single upstream commit since the beginning of 2020.
What is the proper procedure, if there is one, to reclaim a package with a dead upstream? I use physlock on all my machines and have recommended it to my friends as a solid screen locker and would very much like to help keep it alive. I would be willing to maintain a fork [2] as well as help maintain the Gentoo package itself. I've already got a little bit of experience in working with Portage by creating packages into my overlay [3].
