Thank you for caring for these packages in Ubuntu! This mailing list is the correct place to ask for help on this, particularly because it's about the availability of entire packages rather than individual bugs in an existing package, as you point out.
Some misconceptions to address first. 1. *All* packages in Ubuntu are team maintained. Ubuntu does not have individual package maintainers. Please do not single out any individual and demand work from them, or expect any individual response from anyone specific. That's not fair on them. Instead, please use communication that doesn't exclude other interested Ubuntu developers (for example, using this mailing list is fine!). 2. It's not "Canonical" you need to reach here. Packages in universe in Ubuntu are maintained by whoever volunteers to do so[1]. The Ubuntu MOTU team is responsible for guiding this in general but makes no commitments about specific packages. Therefore, to make progress, someone needs to volunteer to provide the required technical analysis, specific packaging fix and any associated necessary QA. It may be that there are no volunteers, in which case there would unfortunately be no "right person to reach" at all. If you can volunteer, then I suggest you start by figuring out the exact set of packaging changes necessary to fix your problem. Since 24.04 is already released, this needs to be of minimal impact to any existing users, so there are some limitations - for example it would in general be inappropriate to make feature changes to packages where those packages _are_ already functional, such as updating existing working packages to a new upstream major version. To minimise regression risk and to make it practical to review, the changes you make should be the minimum required to fix the issue. Since it sounds like there are multiple packages involved, I suggest you put the packages in a PPA to demonstrate what is needed to be changed in Ubuntu and that they do fix the problem. If this turns out to be complex, feel free to ask more specific technical questions so you don't spend too much effort on a path that wouldn't be acceptable to Ubuntu. There are other steps involved but I suggest you start there, since without this, no progress can be made anyway. Once this is ready, others on this list should be able to help further on getting those PPA changes landed in Ubuntu itself. If you need real time help, you can ask in #ubuntu-devel on Freenode. I hope that helps! Robie [1] Canonical provides Ubuntu Pro that includes security maintainence for packages in universe, but that's not relevant here.
