Since you are in possession of his email, have you tried contacting him thru his personal email?
BTW: Is it not the copyright of Vern's game that these CM's are based on? Aren't these CM's considered Fangames based on licensed computer games?
Was there a written agreement between the licensed copyright owner and the CM creator? Only Vern can answer that question as the CM creator is not making himself/herself available.

If the creators of the fangame are approached by the company with the copyrights and are offered the rights to publish the games even if the company owns the copyrights, can they make a deal that ensures that the fangame won't be taken away from them or discontinued at a later stage just because they agreed to produce the game under their supervision?
