[Bug 1940845] Re: Unavailability of OpenJDK8 verion 8u302-b08

[Jay Modi]

Hello, it looks like the new version is available for Impish now but I
have not seen signs for backports to other versions. This release
addresses multiple CVEs so it would be great to have the packages
available in supported versions of Ubuntu. Are there any updates on the
availability?

Title:
  Unavailability of OpenJDK8 verion 8u302-b08

Status in openjdk-8 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  GA of OpenJDK8 - 8u302-b08 happened on Jul 20th as per https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/jdk8u/Main
  There are a few security fixes too in this release and worth getting into the ubuntu repo on priority. 

  But the Ubuntu repo still has the previous 8u292 even after a month.
  Usually, the repo is updated the very next day as I have observed.

  (a) What might be the reason?
  (b) What would it be updated?
