IMO, it's better to orphan the package, to make it clear that it has no active
maintainer. Otherwise that critical piece of information may go unnoticed for a
long time by third parties, including potentially interested maintainers. And
this doesn't prevent the future maintainer from keeping it in Debian Science.

Best,
