I was maintaining it - it was following Debian stable (8/jessie currently), not unstable (sid), as I explained in the previous email to aur-requests. bertptrs is free to create his own package, and call it dpkg-unstable for example, if he wants the unstable version.

Are you going to follow your own policies about notifying maintainers and giving them a chance to respond going forward?

Are you actually going to maintain it this time?
