Thanks for your interest.

I am not sure how to answer this question. I am inclined to ask why you
have hesitation in upgrading to the new (or the next) Org version?
To give a circuitous answer, org-odt.el has now new dependecies on
org-parse.el and org-newhtml.el. All these files are new. IIRC, Only
changes that I have made to existing org-mode files are in org-export.el
and org-footnotes.el. These changes are trivial.
=== Long Story ===
OpenOffice exporter that I have been working on has undergone quite a
bit of change since the last recorded message in this mailing list.
I am CCing the mailing list as it will be of general interest.
Initially org-odt.el was based on org-html.el [1]. Subsequently Lennart
Borgman refactored out org-html.el in to a backend-agnostic parsing
engine org-parse.el and a html-specific org-newhtml.el [2].
Given this development, I thought that the right thing to do would be to
"port" my changes over to Lennart's parsing engine.
I have ported most of my local changes to the new interface. As a result
I have abandoned my old work-area [3] in favour of the new work-area
[4].
I would like to make few cosmetic changes to my repository before making
a formal announcement sometime early next week seeking alpha-testers for
the OpenOffice exporter..

[3] Old OpenOffice Workarea

Unfortunately it was "copied" as opposed to "git cloned" so stands
abandoned.
[4] New OpenOffice Workarea and a "potential release candidate"
http://repo.or.cz/w/org-mode/org-jambu.git/
Lennart's original org-parse.el and org-newhtml.el can be found under
./contrib/odt
My own enhancements to org-parse.el, org-newhtml.el and the "new"
org-odt.el can be found in
./lisp/ directory
