Desktop Team Updates - Monday 4th July 2022

:fireworks: Updated the GNOME Stable Release Update microrelease exception proposal with a simplified base set (which we then make some exceptions on top of)
:fireworks: Asked the maintainer of https://people.debian.org/~fpeters/gnome/debian-gnome-42-status.html to use the Debian package names instead of the GNOME name which makes it a little easier to read and understand from a Debian and Ubuntu perspective.
:fireworks: Prepared the mozjs91 security update for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
:fireworks: Uploaded the gstreamer 1.20.3 stable release updates for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS to the review queue
:fireworks: Troubleshooting and fixing a RTL issue in Ubuntu 22.10’s gnome-control-center 42 which ended up being caused by completely missing gtk4 translations. Thanks Seb for the help here. This will be fixed for Ubuntu 22.04.1.
:fireworks: Updated the Sushi by default proposal to let people know that it won’t make it into 22.10 but hopefully will land later.
:fireworks: Started a discussion with GNOME about VNC sharing support. I think we should disable VNC for 22.10 now that RDP is working well in 22.04 LTS and we labeled our VNC support as a Legacy option there.
:fireworks: A RDP fix landed for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Brian posted an ubuntu-devel message about how bug verification was completed for it.
:fireworks: Uploaded Ubuntu’s session-migration helper to Debian’s NEW queue. There was a suggestion to rename the package names. :man_shrugging:
:fireworks: Miscellaneous bugfixing for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and packaging for 22.10
