I know the upstream developer.  I would recommend that you contact him.  He's been gradually moving from Sourceforge to GitHub and I expect he'd move pysrs if you offered to port it.  

My understanding is he views it as doing what it's supposed to do, so rather than dead, it's merely sleeping.

In addition to email, you can usually find him on IRC at #spf on irc.perl.org.
