Once I have inspected the package structure and the upstream project, I realized Sphinx was migrated to python, and newer versions can be downloaded via the "pip" tool. Apart from that, there is already a "python-sphinx" package to handle sphinx tools.

Sorry for the delay. I checked with MariaDB upstream. https://mariadb.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/118759-general/topic/Sphinx.... The upstream last updated the version they are using ~7 years ago to version 2.2.6 and since it isn't a very important storage engine, it might be best to deprecate and remove it in the future. I offer to take over the package myself, and put the best effort I'll find to keep it alive and orphan it once MariaDB stops using it or it just won't build anymore.
