Public bug reported:

[Impact]

Four years ago I got a backports approval for the "cockpit" source
package in bug #1686022. A while ago, the "Machines" page was split out
into its own separate https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit-
machines/ project, mostly to make development easier and faster.

Just like cockpit, c-machines is a rather dynamic project which keeps
growing features and improvements fairly quickly. It has quite a lot of
users/bug reports on Ubuntu [1], running the latest version helps to
address issues like [2], and we also regularly get requests for Debian
backports [3] (I upload backports to Debian).

[Testing]

Upstream has a very comprehensive unit and integration test suite; the
latter runs on lots of OSes, amongst them are Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu
21.10, Debian stable and testing. As such *every* change in upstream
main gets verified that it builds, installs, and correctly works on all
OSes.

[Scope]

 * List the Ubuntu release you will backport from, and the specific
package version.

New upstream releases happen every two weeks. I usually upload them to
Debian unstable, let them propagate to Ubuntu devel-proposed and then
devel, and then backport them.

 * List the Ubuntu release(s) you will backport to.

Latest LTS and latest stable.
