My understanding is that the Ubuntu Security team does not want gparted's --enable-xhost-root option. I think that option is inappropriate for Debian too, but I had not filed the bug there yet.
Also, I have some changes from LP: #1709140 that are useful. For instance, you should be able to run some of the build tests.
I guess I didn't get around to uploading my work yet because of the googletest issue and autopkgtest issue, but neither of those are really blockers.
The appropriate team to subscribe is ~ubuntu-sponsors not ~ubuntu-archive. I encourage you to use requestsync from ubuntu-dev-tools to help file the bug next time. But in this case, Ubuntu would need a merge, not a sync because of my first point.
Thank you for maintaining gparted.
