The point of contact for the uberftp package in Fedora/EPEL is not me
but Steve Traylen. It is still there.

You linked to the list of updates on bodhi.fedoraproject.org. This list
contains updates to stable Fedora releases. Since there hasn't been any
source updates to the package for a long time, the only builds that
have happened are the rebuilds for new Fedora releases before they
become stable. These builds do not appear in the list of updates to
stable releases.

But the regular rebuilds every 6 month or so for each Fedora release
has happened:
