Why is the version not synched with recent upstream releases?

Asked by karmen

Debian Stretch has 2.1.18 and the newer versions are already at 2.2.
Ubuntu on the other hand has been using 2.1.15 for 3 releases now and Bionic hasn't synched with upstream either.
Shouldn't people get the latest and greates with important bugfixes to libgpgme and the rest of the gpg ecosystem in a non LTS release?
