Hello,
This is (currently) standard practice and usually[1] there is no
manual maintainer action involved.
1. Package uploaded
2. archive software processes the package, including
2a. closing bugs
2b. making it available on incoming.d.o.
3. Only after the next mirror-pulse (which happens up to ~24 hours
later) the fixed package will be found by apt-get.
As a maintainer I prefer this approach, because I get rather quick
feedback after an upload.

[1] Yes, the grep bug was closed manually, but also only after the
fixed package was availale in incoming.
