In principle, I find it works a lot better for the original reporter to
champion the new feature in debian or upstream, unless the issue is
obvious, widespread, or easily reproduced.  But I've unexpired the bug
to give a 2nd chance since it does sound like a reasonable request, and
given some added directions on filing bugs with upstream:

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/exim4/+bug/1953216

I set to incomplete so it'll eventually re-expire, and we can
re-evaluate again.

I'm always a +1 to documenting, whether for processes or knowledge
sharing.  However, I do note the general intention has been to deprecate
wiki.ubuntu.com.  So maybe instead of a wiki page, the relevant
information could be moved to debian/<something>, or if it's more
strongly ubuntu packaging process related, to the Ubuntu Maintainers'
Handbook?  The first 4 sections on that wiki page sound like they'd fit
well to the former, while the last section sounds more like a subsection
for UMH's Bug Triage section (and one that could perhaps be expanded now
that we know more).
