Very likely, but release questions should be sent to debian-release.

Packaging the upstream release is not a problem, but an ABI change will
require a transition from libconfig8 to libconfig9.
The maintainer is aware of the problem, and this has been tracked as
wishlist bug #583528 since May 2010 [2].
Any sponsor / uploader welcome.
It isn't updated because nobody agreed to upload it, and I gave up
eventually.
Is there enough time left to have this updated before the Wheezy freeze
window?
Very likely, but release questions should be sent to debian-release.
Yup.

libconfig9 for Wheezy?
CC'ing mentors, as this issue seems to be blocked by a missing sponsor.

I don't see the new version of the package on mentors. Please consider
uploading your new package there, it will then show up on
http://packages.qa.debian.org/libc/libconfig.html in the 'todo' box
AFAIUI.
Moreover, as this upload requires a transition, you'll need to
coordinate with the release team. These days, such transitions are
tracked in form of bugs against the 'release.debian.org' pseudo package:

libconfig9 for Wheezy?
The compatibility report for libconfig between libconfig8/1.3.2 and
libconfig9/1.4.8 versions (see attachment) generated by the
abi-compliance-checker [1] tool may be of help to upgrade this package.

Thanks. abi-compliance-checker looks very helpful.

The maintainer has not replied so I have uploaded an initial version of
libconfig9 to mentors.debian.net [1].
No VCS exists, so this is simply git-import-dsc of libconfig_1.3.2-2,
git-import-orig of libconfig-1.4.8 and resolving the conflicts. I will
work on fixing up the lintian warnings over the weekend.
Regards,
Jon
