Ogre > 1.12

Dear Debian developers,

I am the maintainer of the Debian package of Sight [1], a toolkit for 
medical imaging software.

We rely a lot on the Ogre3D engine for the visualisation. However the 
Ogre version (1.12.10) present in Debian is more than two years old. We 
would like to upgrade to a more recent version to benefit from bugfixes, 
enhancements and to ease the multiple platform support.

Is there any plan to update the version of ogre soon ? I noticed a 
branch 13.3 was started but apparently it has never been uploaded. Was 
there any technical difficulty arising ? I guess for compatibility 
issues with dependencies, there is a need to keep the 1.12 version anyway.

If the answer is negative, I can offer my help to try to solve the 
issues or to develop a new package, ogre-1.14 for instance. However, I 
am not an official Debian developer so I would  need a sponsor for 
checking the package and the upload.

Thank you in advance for your answer,

Best regards,
