[Bug 1823444] Re: The Japanese Era name will be changed on May 1, 2019

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Well, it's highly unlikely that Debian will release a new version before
Thursday.

So if it's considered important to get it in in Disco, you'd better try
to find someone who can sponsor the patch for Ubuntu. I have subscribed
Ubuntu Sponsors (the release team does not review patches AFAIK), but
I'd recommend that you also ping some core dev on IRC.

As regards Debian, I happened to have a local git repository ready, so I
have submitted a merge request:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/mozc/merge_requests/3

The SRU:s can be handled whenever you find the time.
