New minor release to fix reproducibility/FontForge issues?

Hi,

Xonotic is dual-licensed under OFL+RFN and GPL2+. Currently Debian distributes it as a GPL font because the Reserverd Font Name clause of OFL requires a complete bit-for-bit reproduction of the font files, something that at the time cannot be achieved for two reasons:

  1. The main reason is that the files released in 4.2 (https://gitlab.com/sev/xolonium/-/releases/v4.2) have been produced with a version of FontForge that contained some bugs related to the way metadata is written in TTF/OTF files (in a nutshell: some fields contain a stray final \0).

  2. Also, the files all contain slightly different build timestamps and the reproducible build supports only one timestamps.

Would it be possible to merge !2 (closed) and then do minor release like 4.2.1 compiled with a recent FontForge, so that Debian can finally ship Xonotic as OFL?
