As far as I know, Peter Jones is still maintaining cdparanoia (and is
planning significant new work on it in the not-so-distant future).
Obviously you're correct that there haven't been any recent releases,
but that's certainly fixable if there are upstream fixes that need
releasing.
I can't find any evidence of people recently _attempting_ to get patches
in upstream, so it seems a little unfair to characterise it as
'impossible to get things fixed upstream'. File bug reports, obviously
preferably with patches.
