If you build the package you take it over. AFAIK there is some
kind of automatism on the release-side that changes the owner
e. g. on http://www.opencsw.org/packages/clusterssh on package
release.

It is more formal, but also more polite :-) If the maintainer
didn't fix it in a reasonable timeframe you can still take it
over.
