Your assistance in getting fixes landed would be most welcome!

We do have to take great care to minimise risk of regression to existing
users of course, as you've very well demonstrated in this bug :)

Our process for getting fixes in is documented at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates. Assuming that based on
that policy and the specifics of the fixes, cherry-picks are most
appropriate, the main steps would be to have a bug for each issue, get
the Ubuntu development release fixed, and then prepare an update for
20.04. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure has the
details. You can do most of this yourself, and we'd be happy to help
with sponsorship and any rough edges in the process.

You can reach us on the ubuntu-devel@ mailing list
(https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel) or
#ubuntu-devel on Freenode on IRC.
