[debian-mysql] Bug#1106673: odbc-mariadb is outdated (3.1.15 while current release in the 3.1 branch is 3.1.21)

[Patrick Braun]

Package: odbc-mariadb
Version: 3.1.15-3
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainers,

the current 3.1.15 release contains several bugs. I specifically hit https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/ODBC-359.
I have updated the package to the 3.1.21 upstream release in a fork and am runnign it on several bullseye and bookworm systems with no issues.
The 3.2 branch seems to exist as well but I haven't looked at it much.
I'm not that well versed in the official debian workflow so I haven't opened a PR or the like. The fork is at https://salsa.debian.org/pbraun/mariadb-connector-odbc
I'd gladly assist if I can be of any help.

Thank you
