I guess this is a political question rather than technical. New Zealand is probably extending daylight saving time with a bill currently being drafted. It will (most likely) change the end data of dst by pushing it out ~3 weeks. My question; AFAIK CentOS/whitebox/et. al. should not make any changes to tzdata - it is an upstream issue, but how do we ensure that 'upstream' find out about things like this?

File in upstream bugzilla. But actually, they're generally really on top of this.

The underlying data isn't distribution or even Linux specific.

There's probably more than you want to know here: http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm
