Have you written a release for it?

If not, I don't think you're in any position to criticize, no offense.

Perhaps the 3.3.0 version was submitted already completed by a user? 
Maybe the developer who was working on the 3.2.3 version had a death in
his family.  Maybe none of the developers are working on it.  Maybe
they've been working on it and there is a major bug in it that isn't in
the 3.3.0 version.

There's thousands of reasons why this can happen, and any one of them
could be the case here.

It makes perfect sense.  We are not full-time employees of the Gentoo
Foundation.  We do not get paid to do this.  We don't spend 40 hours a
week hacking on Gentoo... Well, some of us do, but most don't.  The ones
that do are crazy.  Try to avoid them when you see them talking to
themselves in a corner... ;]
