Comment 11 for bug 1804513

> Thank you Robert for you explainations. I appreciate you efforts to keep Ubuntu as stable as possible.

Thanks, and likewise I appreciate you caring for the user experience of this package in Ubuntu.

> I there anything left to do for me here?

I think there are a bunch of outstanding questions you have yet to answer. See Simon's question 3 above, for example.

> During the release you have followed Debian, they have fixed the issue by upgrading to 2.2
 So it is reasonable to follow them again.

It is reasonable for Disco, and this has already been done. Your logic does not follow for Cosmic, which is now a stable release.

> Who is the responsible package maintainer?

Packages in Ubuntu are team-maintained. There is nobody specific you can pin as "responsible". Somebody will need to volunteer the update. It sounds like Simon may be willing to do this for you. For stable releases, the SRU team will make the final decision on any updates as Simon mentioned.

I'm still open to approving any of your proposed options, but I don't think I yet understand adequately enough what the impact would be to existing users for any of them. I understand your position and your opinion, and this is valuable information since you're the expert. However, I still need the underlying facts, and these are still not clear to me.

If you don't want to go there, and don't feel that you need to justify your position, then I suggest again that you look at snaps for packaging instead - they give you, as upstream, full control over your release management.
