Wrote a manual test plan for Papers since it currently doesn’t have automated tests
The MIR for Papers passed the non-security checks but it needs a Ubuntu Security team review before we can switch from Evince to Papers for Ubuntu Desktop 25.04
Began the libimobiledevice transition after the required MIR was approved
Filed MIR re-review paperwork for tinysparql and localsearch (what tracker-miners is being renamed to) because the MIR team now wants re-reviews for renamed source packages if the previous MIR was completed long ago.
Began integrating xdg-terminal-exec for Ubuntu Desktop 25.04 after its MIR was approved
Cherry-picked gnome-terminal and ptyxis fixes for this feature, after manual testing revealed that their integration had issues.
Updated Ubuntu’s NetworkManager package to 1.52 RC
Reported an apparmor regression for sbuild unshare and triaged a regression for wifi. These only affected Ubuntu 25.04 and have already been fixed.
Adopted the Enter TeX app for the Debian GNOME team after Andreas Tille began the salvaging process. Enter TeX is very closely associated with the gedit packages which are maintained by the Debian GNOME team already. Enter TeX was previously known as GNOME LaTeX and Latexila
Helped with getting the Cantarell font switch to the variable version change into Debian and Ubuntu 25.04
Miscellaneous other packaging updates and sponsoring as we entered Feature Freeze for Ubuntu 25.04 early today

Seb updated our gst-plugins-good1.0 & gst-plugins-bad1.0 patches. Ubuntu 25.04 now has a development version of what will soon be gstreamer 1.26.

Ubuntu’s Initial Setup app now supports installing language packs
