Yes, it's a proper way to reach out to Ubuntu developers.

However, the latest ausweisapp2 version in Debian has already been 
sync'ed into Ubuntu, and is available in the Ubuntu 21.10 archive as 
well as the archive for the coming 22.04.

It's not in 20.04, though. To get it into 20.04, someone needs to 
propose a stable release update in accordance with the related guidelines:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates

Normally a new upstream release is not a proper candidate for a stable 
release update. OTOH, if the current version in focal is non-working, 
there may still be a chance...
