Cinnamon upstream is more than welcome to add a backported mozjs* to
the list of custom packages they provide. The absence of the latest
mozjs on Debian Stable or Ubuntu LTS does not need to be a blocker at
all.
But I have news: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS now has mozjs102 in jammy-proposed.
The intent is to release this as a security update there soon. See
https://launchpad.net/bugs/1993214 for more details.
If that works well, we may continue to backport new major mozjs
releases in the future for Ubuntu LTS. Perhaps for Debian 12 too.
Thank you,
