Well, noone volunteered to maintain it?

I sort of needed it for EPEL until a couple of months ago so I kept it
alive until recently where another volunteer picked it up.

If you need it outside of EPEL free to re-add it I guess? The EPEL
package should work fine with Fedora and I think update to 1.99 will be
just a minimal effort. I'll review it for you if you file a review
request.

Thanks
