As I have already mentioned more than once when the FTBFS policy has been
discussed, a failure to build from source is not necessarily a fatal bug. If
the package has no broken dependencies and needs no changes, there is no
actual need to rebuild the package. Hence, I find it unfair to call packages
"not really maintained" just because a FTBFS was not fixed immediately.
(Even the policy allows for 6+ months to fix FTBFS bugs.)
I prefer spending my time on making actual user-visible improvements to my
packages rather than on fixing yet another mass FTBFS caused by a rude
incompatible change done in some other package.
