I am totally for option a (frequent updates) but would prefer patches
instead of downloading full code. [...]
I understand that there will be users preferring not to bother themselves
with weekly updates but they can apply sets of patches at their
connivance. [...]

... patches are there for GRASS 4.2.1 source code from V.14 onwards.
It would be possible to create also Linux binary updates (binary
patches). But this is even more work here (I am mainaining the
server alone). Maybe someone else could do this update management
and send such packages to me for storing them onto the server?
