Feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer.

Well, we've always focused on the stable series which is now 2.6.
Older stable series are/were maintained for Ubuntu only via SRUs.
2.4 was targeted at Oneiric which is now EOL so I we don't need a new
2.4.x release (the 2.4.2 review stalled anyway).
The SRU process for bzr is documented at
http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/UbuntuStableReleaseUpdates but is quite
out-of-date.
I don't have time myself to work on that.
I'd rather try to update the stable ppa when time permits unless someone
more knowledgeable than me does it.
