How long will this take before its in stable? I'm not super familiar with how mesa works

I think the devs are still working on the release of 23.2. We probably see it in october / november. Once it releases the availability depends solely on your distro. If you are on a fast updating / rolling distro such as tumbleweed or arch you'll get the new packages very quickly (usually days / a week after release)

that's not too bad if it's a few months then

I normally use git so can't say exactly how long, but there are typically 3 major releases per year, so you could estimate from that..

Having checked mesa's release calendar, we're looking at the second week of August

It's already in Mesa's 'stable' because it's in a release. Whether it's in a distro's stable is up to the distro. For e.g. Fedora, it should be pretty quick. For something like Debian, it may take a long time.
