Title:
  [MIR] mathjax

Status in mathjax package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  [Availability]
  Currently in Ubuntu universe. Built for all supported architectures. In sync with Debian.

  [Rationale]
  This package is a new dependency of the 'sphinx-doc' package (src:sphinx, as of version 2.3.1-1) that we already support.

  [Security]
  No known security issues:
  https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/sphinx
  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sphinx/+cve

  Past issue CVE-2018-1999024 affects only versions < 2.7.4:
  https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2018-1999024

  No security relevant binaries contained. No files in /sbin or
  /usr/sbin, no system services/daemons or other security relevant
  constraints.

  [Quality assurance]
  * The package provides a JS library, which can be used easily from
    /usr/share/javascript/mathjax/ without further documentation.

  * No debconf dialogs.

  * No critical outstanding bugs which affect the usability. Upstream
  provides regular bugfix releases for the 2.7.* branch at
  https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax/releases

  * No bugs in Ubuntu.
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mathjax

  * Debian marks 1 out of 2 bugs 'Important':
    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=mathjax
    BTS#919981: Ugly formulas in jupyter
    -> Affects the rendering in 'jupyter', which is in Ubuntu universe.
       Does not seem to be a critical bug.

  * Upstream lists 25 issues, which were not marked to be fixed or postponed.
    None of those seems to be critical:
    https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Acreated-desc+no%3Amilestone+-label%3A%22Feature+Request%22+-label%3AFixed+-label%3A%22Expected+Behavior%22+-label%3ADuplicate+-label%3AAccepted+-label%3AAbandoned+-label%3A%22Address+Later%22+-label%3AQuestion+-label%3Av3

  * Ubuntu is in sync with Debian. Debian last updated the package 2018-05-15.
    Looking for a new maintainer, due to a new major upstream release (3.0).
    Debian-JS-Maintainers team took over and is preparing 3.0 release in Salsa.
    https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/mathjax
    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=950424
    https://salsa.debian.org/js-team/mathjax

  * No exotic hardware required.

  * No autopkgtests. No build tests.

  * debian/watch available.

  * lintian --pedantic shows 3 relevant, non-critical warnings:
    P: mathjax source: package-uses-old-debhelper-compat-version 11
    P: mathjax source: rules-requires-root-missing
    P: mathjax source: uses-debhelper-compat-file

  * Does not rely on obsolete/demoted packages.

  [UI standards]
  Not a user facing application.

  [Dependencies]
  All binary dependencies and recommends are provided by the source package itself.

  yui-compressor (universe) is only in Build-Depends.

  [Standards compliance]
  Uses mostly debhelper and meets FHS and Debian Policy Standards-Version 4.1.4.

  [Maintenance]
  Simple package, which can be synced from Debian, especially as the Debian-JS-Maintainers team is taking over this package from the original Maintainer.
  Otherwise, Ubuntu Foundations should be assigned.

  [Background information]
  MathJax is a JavaScript library/display engine for mathematics that works in all browsers. It is used by sphinx-doc (main) to render their documentation pages.
