Would people like to establish a process for periodically considering
proposals for incrementing dependency versions?  I'm thinking like a
monthly project meeting to discuss development status and direction.

• decide which distributions we want to support as this will ultimately limit the dependency versions we *can* support (I doubt that would need to be re-evaluated monthly).
• implement proper checks (likely CI builds) that ensure we do not accidentally introduce dependencies not. The ppa builds run on older Ubuntu distributions were always helpful in that regard, so I hope we can get them (or something comparable using GitLab CI) back up eventually.
