I have just uploaded sip 4.19.21 to unstable.

This is Debian mailing list, not Ubuntu's :-)

However my upload will be synced into Ubuntu and available in 20.04 LTS.

If you want a fix in older Ubuntu releases, please file a bug against sip4

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#SRU_Bug_Template

The whole sip 4.19.21 won't be backported, but it is possible to cherry-pick
individual fixes.
