My interpretation of the wiki is that If a package is old, and the existing 
maintainer is uninterested or unable to upgrade then you an do it yourself 
and offer the results to the archive.

If that doesn't suit you you could try recording a "RFE" bug report against 
the package.

The idea of the community is that if something doesn't suit you, you can work 
to improve it.
