If the maintainer has some, but perhaps not enough, time to work on it and just needs help, I think he is more likely to find someone is willing to pitch in and help get the package shaped up. Orphaning the package has the potential to leave things worse off. Now, if the package has sat untouched for a very long time and accumulated many bugs, that may be the only option.
