[maemo-developers] Garage project takeover

Hello,

I am currently doing some maintainance work on DOSBox for Maemo (and
I am the author of the current package in -devel). In order to fulfill
the extras QA bugtracker requeriment and my own need for a VCS repo, 
I considered registering a new project in Garage, but found that the
project was already registered.

Quite a few months ago I contacted the maintainer, but he hasn't answered yet,
and the Garage interface won't let me spam him again until he accepts or 
declines the current request. So, a week ago, I sent him an email, with
still no reply. 

I could register a "dosbox2" project, or just ignore Garage and go straight to
a b.m.o component and a gitorius project, but since the Garage project already
exists and is virtually empty, I'd like to know if there's any policy about 
takeover of empty/abandoned Garage projects by "new maintainers", or to 
kickstart discussions about one if it does not exist yet.
