I'm currently in conversation with the Debian developpers mailing
list, and they're trying to get hold of the maintainer, who basically
hasn't responded to anything since somewhere in January, I think, at
least as far as I've been able to figure out.

Right now, it's a bit of "let's see if he shows a sign of life at all
and take it from there".  We can only wait and see.  He might be
through some big changes in life, he may be severely sick, or just on
extended vacation.  I think the Debian organization will reach a point
when the monotone package will reach of state of lack of maintainer,
and that will be the point when a new maintainer will have to step up.

I'm keeping an eye on what's happening.  As a Debian and monotone
user, I've quite a bit of interest in this.

Cheers,
Richard
