Correct - you'll need to get a ubuntu sponsor - subscribe on the bug report "ubuntu -sponsors". FYI - nominal end of support for 18.04 flavour based packages (think most flavours are committed to 3 yrs support) is around April this year so you may want to consider that in terms of effort to get something sponsored for what could be considered an end-of-support package. Obviously that doesnt stop end-users continuing to use stuff until the archive is closed, nor uploading deemed critical issues if necessary for the entire archive life
For what I remember 18.04 was already with 5 years support (not only server packages) and I (and I suppose also others) use cinnamon and nemo (someone only nemo) from ubuntu (I installed it for my new notebook also in latest days from minimal ubuntu 20.04 and not using flavours), I already have new build on my production computer (that still have 18.04) but I think is good make available also for other users that still use it, for example the first time I saw one of the bug solved is when I umounted the pendrive when on other nemo window file copy was running and nemo crash "broken" it, for example only this crash case with cut/copy running is very annoying and it seems to me quite important for an SRU, or I'm wrong?
The
patch for the build is ready, tested reproducing the issues
and verified that solved it and I already used it for 2
months in production.

ubuntu sponsor already subscribed (done 2 months ago if I
