I am a bit confused, why would you need ack from someone who ITP'ed it, even if you need the ack, you'd ask this to the maintainer, right?

But in any case, this does not seem to have any reverse dependencies so this should be safe to upload. As far as I know Praveen, he will not stop you until it breaks something (the package is in a bitrot anyway)

Although this does not make much sense to do this here but still if you want to play extra safe, you might want to upload it targetting experimental.
