1) Contrib != frozen? Have I missed any new guidelines about packages in contrib are frozen after a release?
Afaik Contrib was not released. But situation is little bit unclear, because updates in frozen Contrib should be allowed too (and some peoples want to have Contrib as rolling updates repository like Packman).
Yes, the current situation (ban rolling updates) is the main reason for me (and perhaps others) not to contribute to contrib. That's why I asked if this has changed. There are enough repos with rolling updates out there.
2) Security in mind...?

Yes, this is current approach - changes of packages in Contrib are done by maintainers of those packages without explicit review. It's the same behavior as everyone project in openSUSE BuildService has.
This was discussed several times (for example I prefer reviews for Contrib), but this is a current consensus.
Nice - so on one hand, the current guidelines want to follow openSUSE as strict as possible (not allowing updates, reviewing packages before they appear in the repo) - and on the other hand, every packager can do whatever he want after his package is initially approved. *shaking my head* Why is this bad? From what I can say, the people contributing showed a high level of responsibility. If this stops being the case, we can still add an additional review step.
