I've had this account for a while. ;)

Ok, cool. In Ubuntu, I've focused on providing security updates for VLC
to all of our stable releases. If I can be of any assistance there, I'll
be more than happy to help (feel free to take my uploads from Ubuntu).

Awesome, Lubuntu ships with this by default (I'm the Lubuntu Release
Manager) and I would like to get a more up-to-date version in 17.10, but
let's see if I can get it in before Feature Freeze. ;)

Thanks for the links!
