If you need/use it and want to maintain it, you are free to do so. If the kernel team knows a better alternative that you should consider, then the package should be retired instead of just orphaned and an explanation about why it was retired should be added to a dead.package file in the CVS devel branch. Usually the latter is not done, so you can only ask the previous maintainers. Nevertheless, having a "copy that's maintained there" sounds like bad packaging practice.

Maybe it was retired or orphaned because unifdef was superseded by sunifdef (which is packaged in fedora), which is now superseded by coan [1] (which is not yet packaged in fedora)?
