I'm raising the severity, considering:
- Debian is at v2.3, two major upstream releases behind.
- The last maintainer upload happened over a year ago.
- The package has since seen 3 NMUs.
- Upstream released 2.4 back in October 2014(!) and 2.5 in
  September 2015.
- This wishlist bug report is 5 months old.

Moreover, there are several open bug reports that may have been fixed by
a new version (e.g. #815121) or can be easily fixed or closed (e.g.
#729934).

Please work on this package soon, or RFH/O it. It's a far too important
package to be in such a sad state.

Warmly,
Faidon
