The best is if the original project author(s) transfer the 
project to the dlang-community repo. Then they remain maintainers 
of the repo, but also other members of the dlang-community 
organization can contribute or invite other potential maintainers.

In case they are unavailable, the next option would be to create 
a fork, transfer it yourself and register it as new package on 
dlang.org.
Later down the road, if original author responds, you can move 
the original repo and delete the fork.
