Comment 3 for bug 616682

Thanks for this suggestion! I think that the easiest way to move this forward (i.e. the way most likely to be accepted) would be to prepare a targeted backport of just the bug-fixes, without things like whitespace changes, translation updates (which would need to go in language packs for an Ubuntu stable release anyway), etc. I agree that 2.10.0 doesn't seem to change much beyond the bug-fixes, but a diff that's absolutely clearly "bug fixes only" would be easier to get through the stable release update process. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates for details.

Are you OK with preparing this, or do you need assistance?
