Maybe you are lucky and someone steps up. You are probably better of finding 
the maintainer (if there's one) directly by looking at the revision log or 
asking in the openwrt irc channel. The mailing list is often slow in this 
regard. If it all does not happen in time frame you planned in then you still 
have the do-it-yourself option.
