For this reason, packages that have source openSUSE:Factory do require explicit action from the package maintainers.

I fully support the current decision to have explicit agreement what ends up in 42.2 since it still is supposed to be an easy upgrade from 42.1 to 42.2 and just following all upgrades sounds risky to me.
What I do not really like in the process is that process wise you first need to submit to Factory, wait for its final inclusion and then request the 42.2 update.
Ideally one would update Factory and Leap with one submit request and have the latter release contingent on the former and happen automatically (or at least semi-automatically). Is that not how it works today? At least that's the idea we have for the Backports project which also requires Factory acceptance first. But I don't think we have tested the parallel submit scenario yet with Backports. -Scott
