Unlike Debian, Ubuntu Universe packages do not have maintainers. You'll see the current maintainer is listed as Ubuntu Developers, often you'll see the Debian maintainer's name there. I happened to do the last upload in order to fix a problem building KiCad with Boost 1.61.
If you can find the solution to the Gnome Software issue, please post it here and then subscribe ubuntu-sponsors who can then upload it for you.
