  You need to contact the blog owner yourself – WordPress.COM will not help you, they will not give you any contact info for privacy reasons, nor will they contact the blog owner on your behalf

  see if there is contact info on the site or leave a comment and maybe the comment is moderated and an email is sent to the blog owner

  There is no expiration date on .wordpress.com blogs unused, reserved or otherwise. In the case that there is no contact information or you do not get a response to a contact form submission or to a comment on the site, as auxclass said Staff will not breach the privacy policy and provide you with an email address.

  You can register another .wordpress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Then if you wish to you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade because it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.
