Marc, 102.6 was officially released today, so I've gone ahead and updated my jammy mozjs branch for it. I added the CVEs you mentioned and found one more I found from 102.4. I don't see any new ones for 102.6
I've also created a ubuntu/102/kinetic branch for mozjs102 for kinetic. Since it doesn't have the gjs major update issue, I believe it could be pushed sooner than jammy.
For Jammy, I think the general plan is for this update to be built in security-proposed and then published/copied to jammy-proposed for wider testing before being pushed to jammy-security.
My understanding is that the Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu SRU teams have come to an agreement that we will test all the gnome-shell extensions that are available in the official Ubuntu repositories (for 22.04 LTS and later). Extensions installed outside of the official Ubuntu repositories are unsupported, just like anything that is user-installed outside of Ubuntu. However, we aren't aware of any likely breakage for any GNOME Shell extensions caused by this proposed update.
There is no formal API for GNOME Shell extensions which allows extensions to have tremendous power but it's easily possible for an extension to break GNOME Shell so that it's not possible for GNOME Shell to run correctly or even start.
