Being a security update it should be somewhat "high priority", if the
maintainer didn't update it yet is because he simply don't have the time
to do so (and test it). 
Your whining is not helping anyone; bear in mind that the number of
devs/TUs is limited and they have to manage a huge number of packages.
If you want to help someway, you could update the package, test it and
send the sources (PKGBUILD and other stuff) to the maintainer or maybe
even in this mailing list.

tl;dr : STFU.
