Please don't request an update of a package, We have a script for that. However, a quality pull request may help.

@classabbyamp Apologies, I checked the script before filing the issue.
The script you've linked says the requested package is orphaned, under the heading orphan@voidlinux.org
And seemingly so, the package has not been updated to the current since 4 years, if I am not mistaken.

While I cannot vouch for quality, there seems to be a pull request for the previous stable release. #47141

While, I understand you get a lot of issues and pull requests, please do not respond blindly. The previous pull requester seems also to be annoyed by this attitude and left the patch unfulfilled. Thank you for understanding
