Only the kernel maintainers can answer that. How about we wait and let
them do that?

IMHO, no.
Only those builds that maintainers desire to push out as updates are
pushed out as updates. There's many reasons why someone would build
something but not push it out (yet)
IMHO, yes.
if i install kernel from koji on several machines and
have a option to give karma if it works it would be in
any case a useful information for the maintainers which
is indepedent from what they desired intentionally
Perhaps there was a very nasty bug and they wanted a reporter to
confirm.
Perhaps they did the build, but discovered some bug in their testing
after the build completed
then kernel.x86_64 3.9.7-100.fc17 would not have been pusehd to
updates-testing a week after build today, henceif the package would
have any hint that it is a security-update on koji i would have
tested and deployed it days ago, that is why we run test environments
for production-servers running Fedora old-stable to not wait for
karma of random users which may never happen - but not for each
random build with no indication of security-fixes
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=428473
does not have any security hint in the changelog
