What about the female connector? Did he also order it? Or are only male connectors needed/in shortage for some reason?

Edit: there's some discussion about female counterparts in the comment section of the website.

No there's still no new production of those, as mentioned in the comments. It's kind of a shame. You can adapt a DB-25M to fit a DB-19F by cutting some of the hood to size and removing the extra pins. It's not pretty but it works. That's not really possible to do with the female connector though.
