I totally agree, for minor changes, as explained in [1]. Changing the
version of the software is not a minor change. For this port, it should
take about 2 minutes to create a patch with the new version, and open a
PR with the update.  One can then forget about it and do other stuff.
If the maintainer approves the patch, one will get a notification, and
it is easy to either create custom searches in bugzilla to see PR that
are more than 14 days old, which you can go through every few days and
commit updates that have timeouted.
