Hi,

the request for uploading a new upstream version is 2,5 years old and
did not deserved a single response from the maintainer.  While this is a
wishlist bug it should be fixed anyway because other packages depend
from newer versions of this library.

Similar situation with #350489 which is tagged patch but no response
from maintainer seems that he has lost interest.  Leaving alone a
library unmaintained might result in security issues.

So I wonder whether it is time for an NMU or even a highjack of the
package.

Well, the newer version *is* in the archive, as another maintainer took over packaging the new version (and I had intended for him to take over the old one but apparently that never happened). qwt4 should be removed from the archive but it looks like there are still a couple of reverse-dependencies on it.
