There's even 0.4.13-1 in experimental now.
I plan to eventually update the unblock request, but there's no RC bug
fixes so I guess it's at a low priority. Also I haven't found time to do
so yet.
Given libquvi-scripts rather frequent updates, I am also wondering if it
is useful to follow the upstream releases even for stable. If you look
at the upstream NEWS[1] there are quite a lot of fixes for various
sites: 1 out of 2 entries for 0.4.13, 2/5 for 0.4.12, 7/10 for 0.4.11,
3/3 for 0.4.10. Not all of them would be relevant to backports as there
are also fixes for sites that weren't supported by older version, but
there's enough left.
This means larger changes to push to stable, but I think the risk of
breaking reverse dependencies is low as the Lua scripts in
libquvi-scripts are not used directly by applications, only via libquvi.
In addition support for new sites usually happens via a new Lua script
file: if it's broken, it shouldn't affect other scripts.
