As Ubuntu is a feature-freeze distribution, it won't accept new features to the software archive after the freeze date.
However, there are still some ways of shipping such things to the users:
* If you have a direct/indirect contract with Canonical, Ltd.(like, via AMD), you may make them create an exception.
* You can make use of the Ubuntu Backports project to make the new package available to the backports archive: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports.
* As an unofficial method, you can host a PPA archive to provide any packages that don't meet the inclusion criteria.
> Where can be such a "update request" placed?
