Are they broken ore are there security holes? If so, report it to the bug tracker. If not, why do you expect it to be upgraded for an Ubuntu release that already is released? Assumed all dependencies are available and upstream provides stable 3.16.2 releases of Nautilus and Gedit you easily could build the packages yourself, take a look at the Ubuntu Wikis and help pages. You can use the source packages of existing versions and replace the source code with the source code from upstream to build new packages. You do not need to be a power user or coder to do this, just follow a Wiki or help page's step by step guide. I quite sure there are such howtos. Ubuntu isn't a rolling release distro, upgrades won't happen just for version hunting purpose. The disadvantage of version hunting is the risk to break stability and new features could break the work-flow, so companies might need to train there employees to use newer versions.
