I actually hadn't noticed the mail, since both debian-boot and
debian-hurd mails fall into the same Debian mbox on my computer, and the
title wasn't enough to catch my eye.

Feel free to go ahead.

We didn't hear anything from porters since 2017.

Would it be a good or a bad time to do the udeb changes soon?
