Nothing set in stone.  Simple rule of thumb is wait one week in testing.

You can get buildroot overrides from rel-eng, so you don't need
something in -stable to just build against it.  If you have a pair of
packages that depend on each other they should go into the various
repos at the same time though.

Not sure exactly what you mean, but it's always welcome for users to
provide feedback on packages.  Either good or bad.  Preferably, bad
karma comments also have a bugzilla number in them.
