If everybody can apply patches to the extension, this will get a good 
extension down. Have a look to TER: there is far more junk there than 
good extensions. This junk is created because most of extensions 
authors are bad programmers. Don't ruin a good extension by allowing 
everybody to apply patches to it.

The first thing you should do is to contact extension's author. He has 
the ultimate authority over the extension. This is how it goes if you 
want to take over: contact the author, if he does not reply, ask 
typo3.org admins to reassign the extkey to you.
