I hope I am not doing something wrong quoting this here:
"- you get some information about the maintainer (you see if he has many
outstanding bugs, how old the bugs are, you check the last seen
field on db.debian.org (you need to authenticate to get the info))
- you mail mia-<loginofthemaintainer>@qa.debian.org
([EMAIL PROTECTED] is this case) explaining all what
you learned. You may announce your intent to NMU in the same mail.
- you cc the maintainer in any case to let him a chance to react
- you forward any answer from the maintainer to
mia-<loginofthemaintainer>@q.d.o
- you may also forward the dinstall message saying that the NMU has been
installed ..." -- Raphael Hertzog <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
mailing the qa team may help as well
