I am not saying it is automatically problem, but it might be. Its 
obvious that package, which is in latest version, probably doesn't need 
update. However that is not easy to track, as long as the upstream 
release monitoring is not mandatory.

I am not proposing change of owner or anything like this. I am speaking 
about new co-maintainer. There is nothing wrong about it I believe.
