"The deprecated dbus-glib library is no longer required. A bundled copy
  of its main loop integration code is included instead."

We are using dbus-python in some of our packages (mostly test suite for
UDisks and some helper scripts etc.). From the git repo it looks like
the project is actively maintained and latest release is less than month
old so I think there is no reason to retire dbus-python.
If nobody wants to maintain this package I can do that. It's definitely
easier than rewriting our code to something else.
