Always a difficult call. Personally I like to keep the code on my disk
in sync with the code in the archive, and I prefer to err on the side
of uploading. The "Cathedral and the Bazaar" article gave me some
inspiration in this regard.
Having simple (cosmetic) bugs remain unfixed for a long time is also
discouraging for the people who report those bugs; that's another reason
to be fast with even small bugfixes.
