I think especially with dead upstream a watch file is usefull. If
upstream is active and knows you exists or you are on the webpage
from time to time, then you will notice yourself. If upstream just
wakes up, puts a new version and vanishes again then a watch file
is almost the only chance you have to detect it...
Also email addresses often change, sometimes it helps to look for
other projects of the same person to see if there are other addresses
now (sometimes there is even a mailinglist there also dedicated to the
old project but not listed on the old project page directly).
