 I'm sorry, all I really want is to get the updated package to Debian. I 
 have no intention to take over the current maintainers position (I emailed 
 the maintainer on September 21 but did not receive any reply). 
  
 I am not very familiar with all the rules of how Debian packages are 
 managed. Could you please explain what I should do in this case if I just 
 want to get the package updated? 
 If not ITA, can it be an NMU? Should I create a different bug report 
 against `sponsorship-requests` for that? 
  
 Best, 
 Archisman

I'm sorry,   all   I really want is to get the updated package to Debian. I have no intention   to   take over the current   maintainers position (I emailed the maintainer on September 21 but did not   receive any reply).

I am not very   familiar with all the rules of how Debian packages are managed. Could you   please explain what I should do in this case if€€I just want to get the   package updated?€€
If not ITA, can it   be an NMU? Should I create a different bug report against `spons   rship-requests` for that?

Best,
