Have you tried to determine if there is a minimal set of patches that could be cherry-picked for an SRU, rather than backporting a new upstream version? Usually, backporting a new upstream version as an SRU requires a micro release exception, but I do not see any for this package on [1].

Otherwise, following the backports process [2] for this package *might* be more appropriate (i.e. land the new version in -backports rather than -updates).

Note that I am not on the SRU team or anything, but I came to look at this as a sponsor, so those are my thoughts.
