I am not a moderator on this list, but this list hasn't really been
used for months.

We use https://community.ubuntu.com/c/desktop instead and we might
even close this list.

I am going to guess that this quote is the key point you are
interested in. There is an interesting patch mentioned in the

the team has directly discussed yet.

But let's move the discussion to the Ubuntu Community Hub instead.
