There is no need to ask for a dependency upgrade.
As mentioned in our issue template:
You DO NOT need to raise an issue for a managed dependency version upgrade as there's a semi-automatic process for checking managed dependencies for new versions before a release.
We will perform upgrades matching our 3rd party upgrade policy. If this is an urgent matter for you, there is no need to wait for us releasing as you can use a Gradle or Maven build property to override the library version. All version properties are listed in the reference documentation appendix.
