dconf-editor

597562

N

was once part of d-conf

evolution

Y

-

even if not shipped by default, might not hurt to have it 'supported' in main, has a few universe deps not listed here, was in default install until 2011. (Laney: We intentionally demoted it out of supported when it had obsolete deps. I don't personally see why we would take on maintaining another application if we're not using it, especially one that hasn't been trivial in the past.)

gnome-characters

N

instead of gucharmap

gnome-contacts

N

depends on email decision? because it might duplicate the email client?

Notes

  • If the Old MIR field is Y, it was in main before Ubuntu had MIRs!
  • The Approved field allows us to easily see which MIRs have already been approved.
  • The Other category is for stuff that's not a priority now or maybe doesn't need to be in the default install or main.
  • See MainInclusionProcess for how to file MIR bugs.
