Looks like there is not yet a Homebrew PR: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pulls

Current formula still points to v5.11: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formul...

EDIT: PR created: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/633

Sidenote - was just messing with Homebrew a few days ago, and found it a little bizarre that all of the recipes are in source control and require a pull to update, rather than being on a server somewhere.

I think that's a different issue.
That issue says that Homebrew is doing just fine. Not painful.
Seems reminiscent of the BSD ports approach, which is one of the major reasons a switch to FreeBSD (from Linux) is still on my personal roadmap.
I think you meant:
