It depends. Based on my experience so far today, a number of the open issues duplicate known, fixed problems. (Part of the reason for that may well be the time that has passed since 1.4 was released.) If a few of us spent a little time on the DBCP bug list I suspect it would shrink fairly quickly. Any non-committers lurking on this list that want to help out are more than welcome. Anyone can review a bug, suggest a patch, identify user error, spot duplicates etc. It is looking very much like a DBCP 2 release is on the critical path for Apache Tomcat 8 to have its first stable release. That means DBCP2 will be getting a lot of my attention for a while but help is always welcome. A release for 1.x (1.5.1, 1.4.1 and 1.3.1 assuming that we want to keep version numbers aligned and 1.4.x and 1.3.x will be generated from the 1.5.x branch) may be a helpful stopgap as there have been a lot of fixes. There was talk of not releasing any more 1.3.x releases (Java 1.4 support - I'd be fine with that).
