I'm not involved with ubuntu nor canonical. Because it was meant to be experimental, I used the experimental ppa. I did not have the time to finish testing it for a stable release, due to my exams so I started prioritising my patches and ppa packages. I removed it from my ppa because it was just a quick copy of the old package source with the new software/upstream release (as far as I can remember). Since then I have had exam periods. I would have finished the job if I had a working i-net connection at home, which I stopped to maintain my budget. That's why I said that you (anyone) should become independent.
Now, why did Chris denied it, I don't know. On the other hand it's in ubuntu 9.10 and that was my personal goal. Here is what I would do: you (the jaunty lovers) could at least run 9.10 as a live cd, test the new version of glabels there, then poke Chris and ask him if he would backport (or update) for jaunty, or explain you how to request a backport.
