CPANs policy is not to let you take over maintenance unless the author
does not respond for one year.
You might want to write to him, offering to take over the maintenance
work and help with the changes to be made on CPAN, all you need is his
consent.

See http://www.cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#How_maintain_module for  
details.
