I'm not a member of the Ubuntu Technical Board but I think I can help
here since I have done some of the packaging for Flatpak in Ubuntu.

Ubuntu 17.10 Beta includes flatpak 0.8.7 because that is the
advertised Long Term Support branch of flatpak. I believe Ubuntu 18.04
LTS will include the next long-term branch flatpak 1.0

I did a few SRUs for Flatpak earlier but it was a lot of work. There
were major changes being done to the 0.8 branch which didn't feel like
what I expected from a long-term support branch.

My understanding is that you don't need to be an Ubuntu Member to
bring up an issue to the Ubuntu Technical Board, but I think the
ubuntu-devel or ubuntu-devel-discuss lists would have been a better
place to ask these questions first.
