[Summary]
* Everything seems in order with this package, but it should
be reviewed by the security team due to the nature of the package.
* Build log: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/564514219/buildlog_ubuntu-jammy-amd64.gsasl_1.10.0-5_BUILDING.txt.gz
[Availability]
* The package is already available in Ubuntu universe and builds for the required architectures
[Rationale]
* mutt (which is in main) used to depend on cyrus-sasl. Due to a
licensing conflict between mutt and cyrus-sasl, it has been updated
to use gsasl and drop the dependency on cyrus-sasl. This change
has been made in Debian. Mutt is used by a large part of our
user base, so continuing to provide it is important.
[Security]
* Package gsasl and associated libraries do not have any
security red-flags, but should still be reviewed by
the security team due to the nature of the package (it
authenticates users to servers)
* No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past
* No `suid` or `sgid` binaries
* No executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin`
* Package does not install services, timers or recurring jobs

it makes the build fail
* The package runs an autopkgtest, and is currently passing
[Quality assurance - packaging]
* debian/watch is present and works
* debian/control defines a correct Maintainer field

Thanks, since it is tracking only I assigned it to you.
So it will be in update-excuses, but not show up in the MIR reports.
