As we depend on those apps as our core apps, can't we push updates
that will fix those issues?
We're part of the Ubuntu family or not?

I'm just asking because there are a lot of users that just want to use
their system and find bugs everywhere (for example myself when I tried
first 12.04 stable)... if an update could solve those ugly bugs
(mplayer2, gnome-mplayer, abiword) it would be SO nice.

Can't this be done? It would be a lifesaver for newcomers and it would
be wellcome for everyone using those apps!!
