We would not hunt down the lab especially for CRAN packages, but you could reach out if you like. That would probably be a recommended action to either ask someone from their lab to maintain or if you are willing and you really want the package around you could ask the lab if they mind you volunteering to be the new maintainer.
There could see two options for rewriting/maintaining. 1. Take over maintenance of the package and resubmit to CRAN It's a little tricky cause this is a CRAN package so I'm not sure on their exact policy of taking over an abandoned package. If this is desired, I would reach out to CRAN to find out their exact policy 2. Move needed code to your Bioconductor package You'll have to check the original package license to make sure this is allowed under the license of the package. You will still want to give the original authors/maintainer credit. I would say to be safe I would include them as contributors/authors in the DESCRITPION Authors@R field and in the R code I would add a comment above the code to reference original package citation and stating it was copied from there. I'm not a lawyer or license/copy right expert so not sure if that would be good enough but that would be my take on it.

All dependencies must be on CRAN or Bioconductor. So yes if you can get them to reinstate the package on CRAN that would be ideal. If not you will have to remove the package from the dependency list and either re-write the code used (giving original clusterCrit authors credit) or remove the functionality used from that package.
