It seems like everyone has accidentally missed the mails I've been sending to 
that original report like 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1123738#17 (attached for your 
convenience). I'm invested in this issue as the original submitter and having 
articulated the security risks upstream. Except for translation updates that 
TLS-related fix is the only substantial change in the newer upstream releases 
(because most upstream activity has shifted to the C rewrite), so I think going 
from 46.2.8 to 46.2.10 is appropriate for trixie-updates.

I'm not a Debian Developer and don't have uploading rights for Errands, so if 
you would sponsor the final package upload, I'd love to take charge of all else:
 • send a merge request in Salsa which I'm almost finished with to have 46.2.10 
for Trixie 
 • ask the Release Team for approval for trixie-updates, with an assessment of 
the risks
        ◦ As a formality, I still need to hear back from the Security Team that 
this doesn't need to go into their queue instead 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1123738#22

I do agree that this would be inappropriate as a backport.

Thank you

Thank you Matthias; I'm glad this issue was given scrutiny upstream and made 
into a new release which you uploaded to unstable.

In my opinion, this is an important issue to fix in Trixie, and I think the 
upstream release should be appropriate as-is because it has minimal changes. Do 
you plan to get Release Team approval to make an upload to 
trixie-(proposed-)updates? It would be smart to let it migrate to testing and 
sit there for a few days first, I suppose.
I can't make the official upload for this package as I'm not a Debian 
Developer, but if you would find it helpful, I'd be glad to stage changes on 
Salsa, test on Trixie, and secure Release Team approval for you. Let me know 
what your thoughts are.
