We can't reach the maintainer. We tried it in various ways at various
times, e.g. [1].

I even offered help but got nothing... Shall I fix the bugs and update
the package with my "proven" powers? I don't like to do substantial
changes on other people's packages. But this one has a security bug
that is open for 8 months... Also a few users asked me to update
ardour but I can't do it without updating libsndfile.

What shall we do?
