Hi,
the Kitty in 19.10 (sounds odd) is on 14.3 which is the version that was
released upstream at 29th July.
Version 14.4 was released on 31st August which was after the Feature Freeze
of 19.10 on 22nd of August.
Is it possible to publish the updates to the 19.10 repos?

Not as easily as you might think.
The next version of Ubuntu is 20.04 and already on Kitty 15.0 just missing
the most recent release 15.1 which probably is due to most people being on
christmas break.
For 19.10 updates would have to follow the SRU policy [1] which means
individual, testable, backportable bug fixes.
Furthermore Kitty is "only" on universe [2] support so you'd also need to
spend some effort yourself or find a volunteer driving this.
