Times are changing. Many upstream maintainers don't do releases any more
and instead rely on CI to maintain a good quality level. Unfortunately,
this change often goes without announcement and unnoticed by package
maintainers, leading to the situation you describe.
In cases like
Hi Richard,
thanks for your report.
With respect to the package being outdated, I realize that the sources
have not been sync'd with upstream for a long while, but that's because
upstream has not released any versions (no tags) since 2.11; and I
