Why does it take so long for new (gimp, kernels, openoffice) packages to reach the stable repo ?

That's the process for new packages, not for updates to existing ones. Updates 
don't have to get reviewed, but they have to be careful about not breaking 
things, so pushing something as major as OO.o 3 as an update to a stable 
distribution does not sound like a good idea to me.
