Besides some maintainers being busy with other stuff (esp. Yaakov) or having not yet responded, it looks that this update may have hit another roadbump: There's a bug in perl-5.30 that hits only embedded Perl and only in certain circumstances. Reverting the corresponding commit appears to work, but makes the resulting Perl binary incompatible (i.e. all XS modules and embedded Perls would need to be built again). I can build a new Perl relatively quickly now, so I could do that over the weekend, but I wouldn't necessarily want to release that directly. So it appears likely that the update shifts to the beginning of next year (which probably means early February rather than mid-to-end January).
