I'm not sure that we will do a POI release soon. We only do a few releases a year and the list of changes awaiting release is fairly small. There are also discussions on the dev list about other work like moving to Git (from svn) and potentially also dropping Java 8 support.
Full disclosure: I used to work in Workday many years ago and in my time there, it was feasible to fork OSS projects and publish jars with patches to an internal Artifactory instance. It wasn't common but I recall 1 or 2 times that such a fork jar was made available internally. I'm not saying that a new release is not going to happen in a few weeks or months but at the moment, it doesn't feel like a priority to me.
