Very slow updating to winget repository

Is there any way to pass on to the LibreOffice package maintainers a request to update the winget repository quicker after a new release?

There’s usually at least a week’s delay between the release of an update and it becoming available using winget. Worse, the main LibreOffice package and its Help Pack are usually not updated at the same time… so become out-of-sync.

For example, LibreOffice 26.2.3 was released on May 1st. It’s now May 8th. If I use the following PowerShell one-liner each day:
"Date and time is: $(Get-Date)"; winget search LibreOffice
… it showed me that the main LibreOffice package was updated to 26.2.3.2 on May 6th… but its associated Help Pack is still at 26.2.2.2.

This makes using winget useless for automated updating… one of its main benefits. I’ve had to remove LibreOffice from the PowerShell automation script I use to keep my favourite apps up-to-date.

Version 26.2 not yet available on WinGet (but the 26.2 Help Pack is)

Many thanks, @fpy, that was very helpful.

After 3 weeks of waiting for the winget repository to be updated I’ve emailed the LibreOffice developers’ mailing list.
