Unmaintained on what ground? The website doesn't list fresh news,
but the latest release was made in 2014 [1], and the maintainer has made
changes to the Debian package last time in 2017 [2]. I wouldn't say it's
unmaintained until the maintainer says so or CVEs pile up unfixed (which
there aren't).
So, my position would be to not do anything, as there doesn't seem to be
an issue.
