There are plenty of software that has had newer releases, but has not yet been updated in ubuntu repositories. Is it possible to fill a "bug" report somewhere to tell the maintainer, he should update the package for the next Ubuntu version? An example would be KBibTex, where the latest stable version (0.6) has been published nearly a year ago and yet we are stuck with a version 0.4.

Looks like the KBibTex package has been drifting through releases with no version bumps:
- Yakkety (0.4-4): universe/kde
- Xenial (0.4-4): universe/kde
- Wily (0.4-4): universe/kde
- Vivid (0.4-4): universe/kde
- Trusty (0.4-4): universe/kde
- Precise (0.4-1): universe/kde
So well worth filing a bug report which can be done through Launchpad:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kbibtex/+filebug
Interestingly enough in the 'Answers' section you will see Klabauter mentioning that a new version is available and the answer to this question was: 'I suggest you report a bug.' So in the case of this particular software package I think the way is clear :).
