(as per guidelines minimum of 2 weeks in testing prior to release) The only person who can give you their plans for a specific package is the point of contact package administrator, jsteffan in this case. Typically these things go faster if someone takes the initiative in testing an updated .spec and package, sending the SRPM to the maintainer instead of a request for them to drop what they are doing to start a project for your needs. If you are prioritizing "stability" CentOS 7 seems like a dubious choice to begin with though.
