No. I vote we file an RM against it -- having no reverse dependencies and being unmaintained upstream is sufficient for me. I don't think we should be keeping unmaintained or poorly maintained software in Debian.

Keeping would mean we take over upstream. Although possible, this
would be unusual.

Not necessarily: it is possible to maintain packages in Debian even with the upstream sources gone stale or missing.
