I believe it would mean putting it in ELPA, un-obsoleting, and 
eventually working towards fixing the known bugs, and well as any new ones.

It's okay if the new maintainer doesn't make fixing the older bugs the 
first priority, but closing them, if the package becomes maintained 
again, doesn't make sense to me.
