Which is by no means more difficult than manually maintaining a web page
(which I do not have permission to do btw).

FreeBSD Squid port maintainer I presume?
I fully agree. If a fix is being made to a STABLE version then a patch
should be provided. This is crucial for package maintainers of all OS
families as almost all start from the tarball and then add patches to
fix issues. Using snapshot releases (even of "STABLE" branches) is not
very popular amongst package maintainers.
