General Questions • Why is 'matrix-synapse' now in backports?

where can I go to read the comments from maintainers myself to understand its history, so I don't have to ask about it in the forums?

Search the package in Debian -- Packages
Click on the package page
On the right, under Debian Resources:, click on Developer Information
The package history in Debian is in the news section
There you pay special attention to REMOVED from testing messages before the release of a new Debian version, like this one (2023-06-01)
Here you can read

FYI: The status of the matrix-synapse source package
in Debian's testing distribution has changed.

Previous version: 1.78.0-1
Current version: (not in testing)
Hint: <https://release.debian.org/britney/hints/elbrus>
# 20230531
# 1036954, 1036806

# 1036954, 1036806 refer to bugs, you go to the Debian bug tracking system and search for the bug in the Find a bug by number section

#1036954 says

As discussed with Andrej in #1036806 matrix-synapse will be hard to
support during the bookworm release cycle. To avoid we ship it
initially with bookworm, but relatively quickly might need to ask for
removal, let's not ship it from the start.
