gnome-ssh-askpass2 broken

So the gnome-ssh-askpass2 package in AUR fails when trying to extract the sources (no idea why, bsdtar just doesn't seem to be able to handle it). I've modified the PKGBUILD so that it works, but the maintainer seems to be AWOL (in addition to being broken, the package is several versions out of date). Is there a way it can be updated without the maintainer?

Here is my PKGBUILD:

pkgname=gnome-ssh-askpass2
_pkgname=openssh
pkgver=5.2p1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc='A GNOME and Gtk2 passphrase requester for ssh-add.'
arch=(i686 x86_64)
license=('custom')
conflicts=('x11-ssh-askpass' 'ssh-askpass-fullscreen')
url="http://www.openssh.org/portable.html"
depends=('gtk2' 'openssh')
source=("ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/$_pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz")
noextract=("$_pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz")
md5sums=('ada79c7328a8551bdf55c95e631e7dad')

build() {
  cd "$startdir"
  tar -xf "$_pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz"
  cd "$startdir/$_pkgname-$pkgver/contrib"

  make $pkgname || exit 1

  install -D -m755 $pkgname $startdir/pkg/usr/lib/ssh/$pkgname
}

[edit] tweaked the PKGBUILD
