Same way, report it upstream.
If upstream don't fix a bug (or security issue), this bug isn't fixed.
unless packager become a dev and fix the bug himself.

I was thinking about something like this.

Without stable release, and upstream team doing fix release. I don't know
how to do manage package.

Sorry, will try ...
So, yes, there isn't any way to manage bug/security issue in a very easy way
when upstream team don't provide stable tarball. So, what is the mageia 
policy in this case ? no packaging at all ? "private" packaging ?
regards,
trem
