No. The package was fine before the version was changed. In fact, it
was in much better shape before it was changed to a development version
by the very same non-maintainer.
If you don't care enough to even install the package, then please don't
touch the package.
I would personally mark it as broken or remove it instead of making it
work again, but it means removing some other packages.
I'd be all for that, if you apply that rule to all the unmaintained
packages in the repo. It's a much better solution than having the repo
full of arbitrary untested changes to unmaintained packages.
Wrt dbus I'm pretty sure it would provoke an adoption. There are
multiple packages depending on it, and as the immediate reports tell
you: This particualr umaintained package is in active use.
I also second this. If there is no maintainer, the maintainer is unable
to do his job (let's say it's the 4th time he merged stuff that was
blatantly obviously not tested) or the current maintainer is unreachable
for more than X time, the package should be dropped(moved to the broken
package repo or not, it's still in git history anyway).
That is the best way to get someone to volunteer as maintainer, even if
this person will just be a glorified tester, aka someone that only runs
tests on the package after any change.
