Thanks for reporting.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or direct response, but I see that
impish-proposed now has version 8u302-b08-0ubuntu2 [1]. Though it has
been packaged, it hasn't yet migrated to the release archive, looks like
it is currently blocked by some issues with newer glibc package [2].

Based on the package history, I reckon that once those issues are
resolved and the new version is available in Ubuntu Impish (the current
development release), it will also be added as updates for older Ubuntu
releases.

Title:
  Unavailability of OpenJDK8 verion 8u302-b08

Status in openjdk-8 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  GA of OpenJDK8 - 8u302-b08 happened on Jul 20th as per https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/jdk8u/Main
  There are a few security fixes too in this release and worth getting into the ubuntu repo on priority. 

  But the Ubuntu repo still has the previous 8u292 even after a month.
  Usually, the repo is updated the very next day as I have observed.

  (a) What might be the reason?
  (b) What would it be updated?
