Hi! Related to the new docs and process clarification, how should one today request for the microrelease exception?
Page https://canonical-sru-docs.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/reference/requirements/#new-upstream-microreleases does not specify exactly how to do it. I filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mariadb/+bug/2086527 and added ~ubuntu-sru, but not sure how to start the review and get "~ubuntu-sru will make the final decision" happening. If this is accepted, I would also file a request for Galera (pending stable releases for all maintained Ubuntu releases at https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/galera-4/-/merge_requests). ... > > As a side note, the page about Package-specific notes links to > > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Documentation_for_Special_Cases, > > but I don't see anything about MySQL or MariaDB there. In reality we > > have been doing MySQL and MariaDB stable updates and security updates > > for years.
