I did some reading on Ubuntu policies, and found couple more things to consider:
- Backporting LyX 2.3.1 requires that 2.3.1 is in the Ubuntu archives, i.e. Ubuntu 18.10.
- Ubuntu 18.10 will be released in about one month, and it is already past feature freeze as well as user interface freeze, so LyX would require a freeze exception.
Based on reading wiki pages, I think the backporting effort requires this:
1. Lyx 2.3.1 is released.
2. Ask Debian maintainer of lyx, Dr. Tobias Quathamer, to package 2.3.1 and upload it to Debian.
3. Request a sync of 2.3.1 from Debian to Ubuntu 18.10.
4. Request a backport of 2.3.1 from Ubuntu 18.10 to 18.04.
