Decibel is dead, but that doesn't matter. The Telepathy world has
changed a lot since Decibel was started, and there is really no need
for it now. (And just for clarification, Decibel != Telepathy, and
Telepathy is extremely alive).
Decibel originally did the job of ChannelDispatcher/Account Manager
(as mentioned in my first mail to this thread). However, it was never
completed and fell unmaintained some time ago. We now have Telepathy
Mission Control 5. This is a fully functional, maintained,
cross-desktop Channel Dispatcher/Account Manager, so we have no need
to maintain our own one. Decibel was supposed to also handle the
integration into other KDE technologies (like Nepomuk), but since this
has never been implemented in Decibel, there's no reason to implement
it there.

Yeah, this would be a lot of work, and we should be careful to make
sure it doesn't end up being vapourware like Decibel did. But on the
other hand we need to have enough publicity for it to get more
interested people involved. There is a definite need to find a balance
here.
