Yes, it's a frustrating situation, but considering the latest news I'm afraid we are no longer interested in it's maintenance, nor we think it's really a good thing to keep in the archive a tool that, at least for now, it's dead upstream (or at very least that's the current situation, it might change). If someone steps up to become a new upstream for qbs we will probably be happy to orphan it. And supposing it becomes really detached to Qt itself. Of course, this is a very recent situation, so you might want to contact upstream and see what he will be doing next. FWIW, qbs has 4 years in the archive already, and dewalls is the only rdep besides qt creator (which can be easily solved).
