Well, it's up to you... I would personally suggest waiting until 5.3 is
out, then building and pushing to testing, wait and if all looks ok
push to stable.
That's what I'd do for a usual less crucial update, but in this case, as
mentioned in bug 466939, having an old rpmdevtools release installed will
break/prevent upgrading to 5.3 if the new one is not available.
