since the freeze for the next Debian Stable release is quite close, I wonder if there are any plans for a new Dillo release in the next few weeks.

I mixed up things a little bit here. The relevant date here is the 5th of February. The earlier soft freeze is only relevant for packages not yet in Debian. Sorry for mixing up those dates.
Given the 10 days migration period, the last chance for an upload would be on 2016-12-24, preferable earlier so that there's a chance to fix potential issues like unexpected build failures, etc. in time.
So that date is now 2017-01-24.
Thanks Axel for letting us know these dates. Almost certainly it'll be packed and released before that date. (the last of the dillo 3.x series) The next release (dillo 4.x) will feature a new rendering engine. I'm currently 100% busy with other rather pressing issues outside the dillo realm, but in 2017 it will be different. -- Cheers Jorge.-
