Would you like to take a look yourself to see if a build has been 
requested ?

search for the package you are interested in.

Note that sometimes there is a lot of work to be done in making a new 
release build and work with other packages - so don't expect overnight 
miracles.

However, if you have/would like to try rpm packaging yourself, you could 
grab the current spec file, update it for the new release sources, and 
attempt a build yourself ;-)
You'll certainly find out whether the upgrade is simple or complex. 
Helping the packagers out by providing spec and or source patches would 
definitely help in getting an updated package built.

Please ask for help if you need some.

For the most part packagers are asked to be on announce/devel lists for 
the apps they have packaged, so they might have noticed the release. You 
could however create a bugzilla.redhat.com RFE bug to request the newer 
version; preferably this would include a summary on what the update is 
supposed to fix.
