Did you file any bug report?  Example?  In any case, changing the update
policy is not going to fix this.  There is nothing in the update policy
that prevents a maintainer from pushing a point release that fixes a bug.
It could be resource shortage issue but a policy will never force volunteer
maintainers.  It can only set guidelines that communicate expectations.
