Sorry for the trouble. I'm trying to follow all the directions I find in
several places across 3 organizations (Ubuntu, Gnome, Debian), plus
asking people in 3 or 4 different Gnome & Ubuntu related IRC channels,
but I'm not always sure what the right thing for to do is.

That Gnome maintainer didn't ask me to do anything in relation to fixing
this bug, did he? He mentioned that he backported changes that fixed the
memory leaks. So the leaks are fixed on the 3.36 branch in the vendor
repo.

The reason I submitted a patch, however, is that Gnome hasn't cut a new
release of the 3.36 branch with the backported fixes yet. So what should
Ubuntu/Debian do about the memory leak in the meanwhile? From what I
understand of Ubuntu & Debian's package maintenance practices, patches
are created to fix bugs in upstream code until upstream releases fixes
for them. Is that correct?

I'm happy to do what Ubuntu would like in this situation. Please advise.
