A new upstream release is not really what we want at this stage of the
release. How much of the package is actually broken right now? There are
quite a bit of changes, lots of it in documentation, but also new
functionality. How feasible would it be to do a targeted fix of the
issue at hand?

By the way, you could have mentioned you're not the maintainer.
