Wait, actual question is about PIE? If you find that package are outdated in community or extra, file a bug rep. Why not do it?
no, PIE is just one of the examples i listed of symptoms of a larger issue that i thought might could be helped by paying devs and modernizing the donation system.
PIE is blocked by upstream because of this bug iirc. [1]
why would i file a bug for an out of date package? i'm sure the developer is notified when a package is flagged? why should i pester them to update it?
You don't and it's counterproductive, just flag it out of date. Currently you might experience packages being updated a lot slower since we have a lot of big invasive rebuilds; OpenSSL 1.1, LLVM 4.0. Especially the OpenSSL rebuild was painful and time consuming. [1] https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21090 -- Jelle van der Waa
