If you spot that a new version is available, you're more than welcome to post a version bump bug assigned to the appropriate herd and developer (forensics and me, in this instance). I don't necessarily have time to stayed glued to exactly when new versions of a package come out, but that doesn't mean I'm not willing to spend the time to keep it up to date once I'm aware a new version's come out. If nobody tells me, it'll have to wait until I spot it myself. Foremost has a single bug open against it, which is a stabilization bug, that means it still compiles, and works, or that no one's bothered to complain about it. So I'd class the package as far from dead. Please don't claim no one else wants to keep the package alive, when you don't afford them the opportunity to demonstrate that they do. If you take responsibility for bumping a package from the appropriate maintainer, you can't then turn around and claim you're allowed to cut corners because no one was maintaining it. It's quite rude to the people who are willing to look after it...
