I'm not sure what comments you're after here.
As with any package, if an update is available in proposed-updates and
there's an argument to make it also available via -updates, we're happy
to look at that.
However, packages aren't going to magically appear in -updates - someone
needs to produce a package that runs on stable, test it and propose an
update via the usual process (i.e. a "pu" bug against the
release.debian.org pseudo-package).
I'm also not really sure why this discussion is being had in a bug
report, as there isn't a closing "action" as such. If the intent was
some form of blanket statement that any such update would automatically
be accepted, I don't think that's appropriate; OMMV.
