Here is the dsc URL:
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gmrun/gmrun_0.9.2-2.1+nmu1.dsc

Yes, I would consider adopting it. Ubuntu also has a bug report on a
similar problem [1] and a more extensive patch that seems to address
more outdated API calls [2]. I wanted to keep this upload minimal
because stretch is already frozen, but going forward to buster this is
definitely something I would look at.

What is the proper course of action? I've just read through some of the
pages from the QA team and it seems like an email to m...@qa.debian.org
might be the first step [3] .

Thank you
