According to the changelog of the version in unstable, the last upstream
release (that's made it into Debian, anyway) came out in 2017.

The package Homepage: field lists
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nedit/, which shows the most recent
commit as having been in November of 2020.

If there is development happening on it, it's apparently not happening
in public in the known upstream location. It's private, it's in a fork,
or it's just not happening at all.

Sounds like something that'd be ripe for a new upstream maintainer!
(Unless there already is one and the Debian package maintainer just
hasn't switched, of course.)
