From what I can tell, Pop!_OS does not ship their own version of timeshift. Instead, it comes directly from Ubuntu. So if there is a change in maintainers, it should be reported to Ubuntu:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/timeshift
- They are in sync with the new maintainers (LM). Their latest build is from 2024.07, which coincides with what LM has in their repos.
