In that sense I guess you're right, but maintainers haven't been doing that.
Perhaps, as you say, they should just do that.
Last I knew, an update could only be pushed if there was an open bugzilla it was addressing.
That is one reason I know I haven't pushed routine updates via the update channel.
Please clarify what the desired maintainer behavior is when a new leaf package release is available, but there are no reported bugs against the old release.
Yes, it needs a bug, but don't make your life miserable for that. GNOME for example has been pushing out dot releases on 13.2 twice IIRC... both times we just open a bug, like bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=938799 It's merely informative that what will be updated (planning work) and helps the maintenance team to report issues seen against an existing bug... no black magic needed in there.
