I am not aware of the state this particular package, but in general, you are
free to take over any retired package by submitting a new review request for
it. This is described in the wiki [1, 2, 3]. I understand that you have not
been sponsored to packagers group, so that is a necessary step as well. That
is also described in the linked documentation.
