Yeah, see this thread:

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/xfce@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/BGYGWOXFEVT7SSMZRB6U7RNRLFNRRH7T/

basically it was in fact dead upstream, but then got revived later.
However, by that time the fedora package was retired already.

So, someone needs to repackage it up and submit it for review (like it
was a new package) and get it in. ;)
