IIRC inotify-tools is currently almost dead upstream, so it could be valuable to also find someone to step in and take the role there. Could you consider it? Otherwise, to ease your future packaging work too, I'd suggest you to get in touch with people interested in it from other various distributions and try to re-ignite some energy into the upstream project.
