Hi,
MariaDB got approved for MRE back in 2014 but the wiki page that
was created later never got it recorded.
I have now drafted MariaDB-and-Galera-updates - Ubuntu Wiki
in preparation for re-requesting the MRE so that we can follow
official process to upload microreleases of MariaDB and Galera that
have only critical bug fixes but not security fixes. For the past 10+
years there has been 3-5 microreleases annual of MariaDB for every
supported Ubuntu release, so the process is quite established, but
most of the the uploads have gone in on the grounds of having at least
one CVE fix included as well.
I am now seeking for co-authors to help polish
MariaDB-and-Galera-updates - Ubuntu Wiki and submit the new
MRE approval request following rebooted process documentation.
(this was originally posted at Preparing renewed microrelease exception for MariaDB - requesting co-authors but it seems the mailing lists have far less activity than Discourse)
