12.10 was not mentioned in the announcement, the intended meaning was
to say "this PPA will be shut down with the EOL of quantal/12.10".
This means you can keep using the PPA with quantal.

We will update the documentation to mention that non-LTS Ubuntu users
should instead pick the next-oldest LTS release instead. The packages
will still work there. (If something in the dependencies changes, we
will add the relevant packages/distributions to fix the situation.)
