You can resume development of the series. Apply the patches, work on
them until they are ready, and send them crediting the author:
- It's easiest to add new patches that are authored by yourself, but
  often you'll also need to fix up the original patches.
- If the change to an original patch is small, keep the authorship
  information and add your Signed-off-by, noting that you made changes.
- If you change the majority of a patch, you might decide to make
  yourself author, but note that the patch is based on the original
  author's work.

You may keep the patch series subject or pick a new one, depending on
how relevant the original subject is to the scope of your new series.

If you're unsure, try searching the web for advice on taking over patch
series. There are multiple ways of doing it, and as long as you give
credit to the author of the original code, it's up to you which approach
you choose.
