 Have you tried contacting the maintainer prior to sending out this RFS? If
 they haven't responded in a timely manner, please ping the MIA team and go
 through the MIA process; if they did reply and simply don't have time to
 update their package, please get them to say so on a public list / bug
 report and include a link to it in your RFS bug. Otherwise, this would be
 considered a hostile NMU.


 Sorry, new to this. I actually bcc'd the maintainer this message. In the
 future, should I just mail the maintainer with a link to the mentors page?
 Do I then need to mark it not an NMU, and change the versioning to reflect
 that?

If you're new to NMUs, you may want to read up on devref 5.11 [1]
first. The gist of it is that NMUs are your last resort given an
unresponsive maintainer, and you should exercise all possible means of
communication with the maintainer before resorting to a NMU.

I don't take this point of view myself (I'm happy if other maintainers
want to co-maintain my packages and share the workload), but you
should note that different maintainers treat NMUs with differing
amounts of hostility, and it's not good etiquette to attempt a NMU
without prior contact with the maintainer. What you should generally
do is ping the current maintainer a few times with an offer to help
(try to avoid mentioning NMU; use keywords like help,
co-maintenance, here's a patch/debdiff, etc. instead), and
continue to ping the maintainer at reasonable intervals until you
suspect that the maintainer has gone MIA, in which case you should
also ping the MIA team (who may then orphan the package, for you to
adopt).

Regards,
Vincent
