We are already doing the security updates, but it needs rewriting large amounts of ruby code. We need more volunteers here as upstream does not have a long term support release. Stretch-backports is time consuming at first, but we can get to an upstream supported release. Also many people prefer a new upstream release for features (one of the reasons for salsa not using native Debian packages).
So its security and new features.
