There's a mailinglist kde-packagers, which you might subscribe to. The 
release-dude (Waldo Bastian for 2.2x) creates tarballs for the 
KDE_X_X_RELEASE branch. However, you are free to update packages from the 
stable branch, i.e. currently KDE_2_2_BRANCH, as many bugfixes go there, even 
after the release. At least SuSE is creating updated packages whenever some 
new bugfixes are committed to the stable branch (you can subscribe to kde-cvs 
to see commits).
