Hi Faheem,
for anything that is straightforward, do not hesitate to just do and commit.
It is easy to revert. Also, when we are far from the Freeze, I would also
recommend to upload without asking, especially when the package is small and
frequently updated upstream. Of course, whenever you have doubts, it is very
welcome to ask first.
Altogether, if you happen to be the first to have free time to update
r-cran-ggplot2 when it becomes buildable, just go for it, it will be much
appreciated.
Cheers,
