Let's take a quick look at this though.

We import packages from Debian.  1.4 is an old version present only in Xenial:

 weechat | 1.4-2            | xenial/universe          | source, all
 weechat | 1.4-2ubuntu0.1   | xenial-security/universe | source, all
 weechat | 1.4-2ubuntu0.1   | xenial-updates/universe  | source, all
 weechat | 1.7-2            | zesty/universe           | source, all
 weechat | 1.7-2ubuntu0.1   | zesty-security/universe  | source, all
 weechat | 1.7-2ubuntu0.1   | zesty-updates/universe   | source, all
 weechat | 1.9.1-1          | artful/universe          | source, all
 weechat | 1.9.1-1          | bionic/universe          | source, all

Artful has 1.9.1, and Bionic is slated to have 1.9.1 as well (because
that's what's latest in Debian Unstable -
https://packages.qa.debian.org/w/weechat.html - at the time of package
autosync).

If you wish to provide additional support, I would suggest that you
poke Debian to update their repository versions to 2.0.1, and then get
that synced into Bionic before FeatureFreeze, and then request
backports to Xenial and test (within the Backports repository -
details on Backports here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports )

However, short of backports or running your own PPA for the updated
Weechat source code/version, I don't think we're going to be able to
easily bump the Xenial version (per StableReleaseUpdate policies).
