You can submit it to bugzilla as an RFE, or just mail the developer
who last did something to the package (look in the changelog). Or just
post here...

We're generally not interested in changes like that... of course, you
can send a mail to the developer telling him (no female developers in
the OS Engineering group) that a new version is available. Sometimes,
it might have been overlooked (especially for low profile packages),
most of the time it hasn't been upgraded it's for one of these reasons:
1) it's buggier than what we have
2) it would break binary compatibility
3) the new version was released (or noticed...) too late in the
development cycle to upgrade unless absolutely necesarry, as the
work is focused on stabilizing the whole distribution.

I don't think that's a policy, but I would recommend users to stay
away from those and use our packages :)

I don't.
