as there are already 5 patches (*) for Hobbit 4.1.2p1, don't you think a 4.1.2p2 version should be released ? Maybe it would save some time for Hobbit beginners ?

No, I am not planning that. The reason is that the patches mostly address issues that will never show up in most installations, or which are merely annoying, but not critical.

hobbit-4.1.2p1-query.patch This fixes the color returned by a bb "query" command for hosts that have been disabled.

hobbit-4.1.2p1-grouptitle.patch This fixes a crash in bbgen when using "group-except".

hobbit-4.1.2p1-history.patch This fixes a crash in bbgen when parsing malformed history logs for reporting.

hobbit-4.1.2p1-fgets.patch This fixes a crash in various parts of Hobbit when the bb-hosts file has a newline at exactly 4 KB offset into the file.

hobbit-4.1.2p1-doublehost.patch This fixes the double host occurrence when using alternate pagesets and hosts that appear on multiple pages in the default pageset.

The "fgets" patch is probably the most critical of those, since it affects the core Hobbit programs. But the chance of hitting that particular bug is extremely small.

So the next release will be 4.2, and it's not too far away. (Promise!)
