Looking specifically at the fact that upstream is already up to .12 on their
microreleases, and it follows our expectations for bugfix-only
microreleases, I approve this exception.

Please link this MRE page from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates
(I unfortunately continue to be unable to log into the wiki myself).

Also FWIW I would be perfectly happy if this didn't use bileto since bileto
is very much in maintenance mode.  But I won't block this on moving it to
!bileto.

MREs only require sign-off from a single member of the SRU team.

Thanks,
