You should try to contact the maintainer, and find out if they are
planning an update, but missed CRAN's schedule. If not, then you should
volunteer to take over as maintainer.
Being a maintainer doesn't require much work for the minimum necessary
work: you just need to fix issues as they arise in CRAN checks. It
usually doesn't require much expertise: if an issue arises that you
don't understand, then people on this mailing list are likely to be
helpful in fixing it. Of course, if you are maintainer you can do much
more than that, but it's your choice.

Hi everyone,
I am the maintainer of a package (dartR) that depends on ggtern (a package that
seems not to be maintained anymore).
Currently the package was removed from CRAN (about 4 weeks ago) due to a simple
error, which can be easily fixed. This was kindly achieved by Roger Bivand
(simply the remove of a backslash does the trick).
In an github exchange he also suggested to have an non maintainer update (NMU)
for the package in the short term (and find a replacement of orphan the package
and find a new maintainer in the long term).
Here is my first question as I did not find an answer googling it.
How can I ask, request for an NMU? Would I simply write to CRAN and describe
the situation and send the files that need to be replaced?
The second question is, how I would request to orphan the package and what is
the procedure to find a new maintainer (as it relies on ggplot code and this is
not really my strength, hence I would try to find someone else to take over).
Thanks a lot, Bernd
