The stable version has many bugs in it, so (1) seems pointless.

If you go with (3), you will probably get a bug report, possibly with a
patch attached, and you would then proceed to actually do (2).

If upstream is as dead as you imply (4) will be a looong time in the
future.

If you have too much time, you can take over or fork upstream and apply
any fixes you want and then package that. If you do not have time for
this, I would go for (2).
