as sox has now accumulated a total of twelve (!) CVEs for version 14.4.2
[1], I'd like to once more urge the current maintainers to tag a new
release.

Given the maintenance burden of applying all of these patches (and the
numerous other bugfixes that have been added [2]) on top of the last
stable release in a packaging context, I would very much like to see a
new release.

Is there anything preventing it? Is there something that can be helped
with?

Best,
David
