Hi We'd like to get your suggestions on the bugs listed below that may be considered for backports to the stable releases. The bugs must meet meet the SRU criteria.
= SRU criteria = As outlined in the Stable Release Updates Policy [1], Stable Release Updates will only be issued in order to fix *high-impact* bugs. [1]: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#When Examples of such bugs include: A. Bugs which may, under realistic circumstances, directly cause a security vulnerability. These are done by the Ubuntu Security Team. B. Bugs which represent severe regressions from the previous release of Ubuntu. This includes packages which are totally unusable, like being uninstallable or crashing on startup. C. Bugs which may, under realistic circumstances, directly cause a loss of user data. D. Bugs which do not fit under above categories, but (1) have an obviously safe patch and (2) affect an application rather than critical infrastructure packages (like X.org or the kernel). E. For Long Term Support releases we regularly want to enable new hardware. Such changes are appropriate provided that we can ensure to not affect upgrades on existing hardware. For example, modaliases of newly introduced drivers must not overlap with previously shipped drivers. F. FTBFS (Fails To Build From Source) can also be considered. Please note that in main the release process ensures that there are no binaries which are not built from a current source. Usually those bugs should only be SRUed in conjunction with another bug fix. For new upstream versions of packages which provide new features, but don't fix critical bugs, a backport [2] should be requested instead.
