Public bug reported:

[ Impact ]

That's the current GNOME stable update, including many memory fixes
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gjs/commits/1.68.1

[ Test case ]

The update is part of GNOME stable updates
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME

GNOME Shell and its components should continue working, as well other
gjs based apps like polari or gnome-weather and maps

[ Regression potential ]

The way the objects are handled when (un)reffed from other threads or after 
(and during) disposition changed a lot, so it could both cause:
 1. Leaks (memory waste in fact) if objects are kept referenced by gjs and not 
released when nothing else
    need them
 2. New crashes or dead-locks when objects are (un)reffed from other threads
