Public bug reported:

As Thunderbird has a different release cycle to Firefox and there is
some overlap between releases, we're sticking with Thunderbird 31.* for
security updates for as long as possible. We're just about to push
Thunderbird 31.8.0 out as a security update to all releases. This is the
last 31.* release, and so the next security update (in a few weeks) will
be Thunderbird 38.2.0.

However, there is some demand from users to have Thunderbird 38.1.0
before then, so I suggest we upload this to -proposed for all releases
and push it out through the normal SRU process.

Note, regardless of what happens with this, the security team will push
Thunderbird 38.2.0 to the security pockets for all releases in a few
weeks.
