I'm affraid I'm really overloaded right now. But if you come up with a
repackaging of libjsoncpp, we'll find a solution. There is quite a few
reverse dependencies (afaik), so we will find someone to review and
sponsor your packaging. I will have a very bad time helping you
packaging the stuff, though.
If the maintainer is MIA, then we can upload the new versions as NMU
or even move to a team maintenance, don't stress. 2 months is already
something, but I'd prefer to not hijack the package before another 2
months period, to give enough time to the maintainer to react.
I'm not really aware of what are the good practices in this domain for
debian. You should ask to some QA mailing list, maybe.
