What to do if one believes a maintainer has abandoned their responsibilities?
Asked by

I noticed a while ago that WireShark in the Ubuntu universe repository is seemingly not being maintained any more as a new version hasn't been released there for it in ages making me start to think that its maintainer has abandoned it. I think this for the following reasons mostly:
- V2 has been released yet only V1 is available there at the moment
- V1 and V2 had major security vulnerabilities patches several months ago, however the WireShark in the repository has not yet been updated with the patches and seems to be quite an old version of V1
So what do I do in such a case? How do I report this and either get the maintainer to get their act together again or for a new maintainer to be found?
