Current evaluation

Request for a docker image with multipass preconfigured to build snaps on the core18 base, for gnome-calculator CI. No comments, no labels, inactive ~6.7 years; core18 is EOL and the project has moved on to newer bases.

Suggested action: close stale

Reason: The issue has zero comments, no labels, and no maintainer interaction, with last activity 2434 days ago. It is also no longer applicable: core18 (Ubuntu 18.04) is past standard support and the project has since moved to newer bases, and the analogous request snapcraft#3384 to add core20 to the Dockerfiles was closed as superseded after maintainers declined base-specific images due to compatibility issues.

Issue body

gnome-calculator's upstream CI builds a snap using the snapcore/snapcraft docker image. I'd like to switch it to use core18 but I don't see an easy way to update the CI to do that kind of build. Could you look into creating a docker image that already has multipass ready to go to build with the core18 base?
