One way to see who a maintainer is is to check the ACL[1] for the
package. It seems the package is still maintained.
You should add a "ping" comment to the bug requesting a status on the
update. The maintainer may be waiting to release the update for
dependencies or another reason. If you don't hear back from the
maintainer in the bug in a week or so, try a direct e-mail. As a last
resort you can invoke the non-responsive maintainer process[2].

I added a comment to the bug (back on July 31), and emailed Karsten (on
Aug 13, I'm cc-ing him here too), and have gotten no responses.
In the meantime, I created an rpm for my own use with 3.0.17 privoxy
source, it's working much better.
