We are not talking about what is positive or negative, we are talking about 5.9.5. https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.html#adopting "Generally, you may not take over the package without the assent of the current maintainer. Even if they ignore you, that is still not grounds to take over a package. Complaints about maintainers should be brought up on the developers' mailing list. If the discussion doesn't end with a positive conclusion, and the issue is of a technical nature, consider bringing it to the attention of the technical committee (see the technical committee web page for more information)."
