A new MariaDB 10.11 upstream minor maintenance 10.11.3 is pending at https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-server/-/merge_requests/46 This pre-unblock request is to get a decision from the Bookworm release team if you prefer to accept this 10.11.3 into Bookworm, or if you wish it to be postponed to a stable update in Bookworm some time later in fall 2023. As the main maintainer I suggest the release team would decide to include this 10.11.3 in Debian Bookworm at this point in time. There is extensive CI in place pre-upload, and extensive autopkgtests and other quality assurance post-upload. The MariaDB packages in stable releases have a good track record of having unsurprising minor maintenance releases. The MariaDB 10.11.2 release was the first one announced GA (general availability), so this 10.11.3 includes many important upstream bugfixes (though many of them were already cherry-picked into 10.11.2-4 in Debian). The benefit of having known important bugfixes included in Bookworm outweighs the risks of potential unknown and unlikely regressions in this case. This request does not have an exact debdiff, as the 10.11.3 import work was done today and later this week we might add one or two more bugfix commits to it.
