Why did he make a new account on github then? Commits to the old directfb repo were done from a different account (https://github.com/dfbdok). Also, there has been no activity whatsoever since October, and no announcement anywhere, and no response to my request or the other open issue in that repo. I wouldn't trust that directfb is still alive; we need to wait and see. To me, it looks likely that the funding was cut, Denis Kropp has tried to keep the project alive but then just abandoned it.
