I disagree. A new software version can bring new features, but also a
lot of new bugs. There are even examples of new version that reduces the
functionality to simplify the program.

Do you have examples for your claim? The smaller the diff, the better.
Cherry-picking a patch for a bug is more likely to get accepted than
trying to push a new upstream version.

Using a PPA is a quicker and less time consuming solution for yourself.
Following the SRU process takes more time, but then everyone can benefit
from it.
