It seems to differ depending on the package. Every month the qgis
package has to go through NEW due to SONAME bumps as well, and this is
usually processed within a week or two. Possibly because the changes
since the last time it was in NEW is limited.
In March netcdf will be in NEW for a year, a number of subsequent
upstream releases have accumulated there. I suspect this may be another
case where the package got stuck an needs an intervention to get it
acceptable again.
Asking for explicit review of a package via email or IRC tends to work
reasonably well.
Kind Regards,
