After sleeping a night over it, I realize that I missed an obvious 
solution for the non-maintainance issue you are worried about:

Send an RFA or O bug against wnpp.

You as maintainer stating in some random bug that you are not actually
maintaining the package only hides the problem.

Giving away packages you are not able to maintain makes it visible to 
everyone that a new maintainer is needed.
