Some of these seem to be a case of "new library version was built and pushed as an update without the rebuilds of dependent components". It seems to be unclear who is responsible for the dependents to be rebuilt and included in the same update as the library being updated. Currently I only see mails of maintainers who plan updating the library, but the rest of it pretty much depends on the maintainers of the depending components rebuilding them quickly enough, and the original maintainer to include them in the F-16 branched update. I'd like to see a discussion about how we can ensure -- within reasonable limits -- that e.g. bumping a library's SONAME is followed by dependent components being rebuilt and included with the providing component in one update.
