chromium-browser is in universe, and so is community maintained. Does
anyone want to volunteer to prepare, test and submit a suitable update?
If not, then I guess it won't happen.
Looks like a bug to track progress already exists:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1183086
However, there was some talk about Chromium becoming the default[1][2]. If
this happens, then I presume that Chromium's main inclusion status
will change.
