Hi,
Davide has been working on adding support for configuring title and abstract
on layer groups, so that they get decent treatment in WMS clients (which normally
show the layer title, not the name, to allow for a more good looking and human
readable layer name).
The patch just landed on trunk, where two new fields have been added to
LayerGroup, with backwards compatibility added for the 2.2.x series.
Davide also prepared a patch for 2.2.x in which the two new fields are stored
in the metadata map here:
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/52
So, we’d like to backport this functionality to 2.2.x and we’re planning to do so
right after the 2.2.2 release to allow some testing on the stable series before
the next release.
Actually the changes are rather limited and well tested as far as I can see, they are
peripheral and clean, so I would not have troubles doing the backport now,
as we’re still 12 days from the 2.2.2 release…
Opinions?
Cheers
Andrea

I don’t have an issue with the backport. If the release was in a couple of days it might be pushing it but agree over a week out is probably safe enough.
