The bug is not closed and no plan for a package transition. Reason is, while someone states the mentioned patch is a fix, it is not. Upstream has no Python 3.14 support, other distributions either disregard this (probably they don't run package testing [this happens to be the issue, so disabling that in the packages might help]) or simply don't build the Python binding with this version of that - see the Fedora case [1] for example. If you may know more, please let me know.
