"net-firewall/xtables-addons" issues

Okay, after compiling hardened-sources-3.2.2-r1, I follow through with
remerging net-firewall/xtables-addons-1.39 ...

... and it failed with an error, about unknown symbol or something.

A Google search led me to this solution:

http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_thread/thread/8ef017a863038724?pli=1

Although the attached patch in that thread *seems* to be meant for
xtables-addons-1.40 (not in portage yet), I tried applying the patches
to xtables-addons-1.39 ...

... and it worked!

However, a quick glance at upstream [1] indicates that upstream is
already at version 1.41!!

So...

1. Should I file a bugreport for xtables-addons-1.39?

2. Or should I request for xtables-addons-1.41 in the portage tree?

Upstream's 1.41 already incorporated the necessary fixes for
xtables-addons to be compilable on kernel 3.2/3.3:

http://xtables-addons.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=xtables-addons/xtables-addons;a=commitdiff;h=076610e3af86b4b3f87f9c7811d36e38ec8a39cd

So there's just one question: Why haven't the package maintainer pull
xtables-addons-1.41 into the portage tree?

Bugs #397749, #403749, and #405197, apparently.
