Comment 20 for bug 912789

The procedure which you need to follow is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionProcess . Anyone can file the report; you need not be a developer. If and when the MIR is approved, you should then request sponsorship (and FFe) for the change in Evince. I don't want to get your hopes up too much — the cycle is drawing to a close — it may not get into Precise, but the work on the MIR will not be wasted as it'll have to happen in Q cycle anyway.
