If 1.0.0-rc.3 is why they're flagging it out of date, perhaps you could reply to them and explain why it's not out of date; an rc is a release candidate, but not necessarily a true release. After rc makes its way to a true release, that's when upstream is telling everybody that there's a new release to update to.
imho, if folks want release candidates, a VCS package could always be crafted. I would personally avoid releasing non-vcs rc packages. At the end of the day; it's really up to the maintainer.
