I would like to know what's the recommended procedure to submit a request for a newer software version?

An example: I really like gThumb a lot, but the current version in Ubuntu 13.04 & 13.10 is 3.0.2. The last gThumb is 3.2.3 and was released this last august. So, how to submit the request about refreshing a software like gThumb?

Thanks?

Generally It's rare for software to be updated between major releases except where it fixes a security problem or significant bug. But if enough people want it or the changes are significant enough it may be possible.

The correct procedure is to report a bug against the package on Launchpad.

For gthumb the link would be here

Include as much detail as you can.

However if you look here you will see that 3.2.10.11 has been uploaded so it may appear in the next version of Ubuntu.

You have to write to Technical Board to add the software to MicroReleaseExceptions
