  5. Updates from the Release Maintainers (davidnind, 20:33:06)
    1. 19.11.x is going well. if anyone wants things backported, please don't direct message me - just add me to the CC list of the bug and leave a note on the bug report for me so i can look into it (aleisha_, 20:34:10)
    2. 19.05.x nothing unusual to report, will try to focus on more severe bugs. Too much backporting on oldoldstable isn't much worth it and is bad for translations when it's string changes. (tuxayo, 20:36:27)
