Adding a nhibernate/fluent-nhibernate repository seems to me a good option, 
as long as you are ready to handle it, and since contributors would be 
many, also as long as you are ready to share merging/releasing access with 
people most worthy of it.

May you have a way to attract the attention of such potential would-be 
contributors here, to let them share their thoughts?

Is there also any opened issue on the current Fluent-Nhibernate repo, 
asking the owner to take action for giving available contributors the 
required rights for replacing current owners?

About the NuGet package, you may be able to reclaim it, as NuGet has a 
procedure for abandoned packages, which I have already used successfully. 
It is quite lengthy, but well worth it, especially for a popular package. 
They call it dispute resolution, but this does also apply for abandoned 
packages. 
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/nuget-org/policies/dispute-resolution
If current owners of the package do not answer at all, and you can explain 
why you should get ownership of it, it should work. Of course you will have 
more weight in reclaiming it if you already have an active fork of the 
project.
