Speaking as a maintainer of it, the short answer is that I have not
had time to untangle the mess that is the most recent upstream 2.4.2
release. Upstream has made many changes that are becoming unfriendly
to packagers in the recent release that I haven't had the day or so
it would probably take to sort through them (they completely removed
their autotools build system in a patch release - with no deprecation
warning and without a fully working CMake build system that can use
system libraries, they are switching to their own fork of wxWidgets
and are starting to enforce its usage by build system checks, etc.).
I basically took the package to make sure it didn't get retired
during the FTBFS after GCC 10 landed, but I am not a daily user of
it. If you want to help maintain the package, just let me know and I
can add you.
I can help too, I'm a user of many audio packages, and Audacity is one
of the most important.
