Since cca mid-2018 there was no reply from any maintainer in

Hi,
This package has been deprecated for a very long time (a decade?).
Nothing should be using it anymore. Either use GDBus via PyGObject, or
another D-Bus client library instead. If anybody wants to take this
package, I'm sure that could be arranged. Working out a retirement plan
would also be a good idea, though if there are too many rdeps it might
not be practical.
Ray's probably the "maintainer" because this package used to be
important for GNOME. GNOME package maintainers don't normally read or
respond to many bugs in Red Hat Bugzilla. There are orders of magnitude
more bugs than can be dealt with, so ignoring all the downstream bugs
is usually the only practical solution. We need some script to close
all the incoming bugs and ask users to report upstream instead, where
the bugs can plausibly be dealt with, except in the case of downstream
packaging issues or bugs we need for blocker or FE process. Until
someone takes the time to write a script, the bugs are just going to
continue piling up. Although, in fairness, I suppose that usual
explanation maybe doesn't apply when the default assignee is a defunct
mailing list....
