This looks to be step 4 or 5 of the policy [1]:

4. After 2 failed attempts (2 weeks of no response from the
maintainer), the reporter posts to the Fedora devel list with a link
to the bug report and asks if anyone knows how to contact the
maintainer.

5. After other 7 days (now 3 weeks total), the reporter posts a formal
request to the Fedora devel list with the bug link, indicating all
reasonable efforts to contact the maintainer have failed and that they
wish to take over the package.

In your case it's been years now waiting.... can you wait one more
week to complete step five?

NOTE: I'm not in FESCo, just my two cents...
