Like each month, here comes a report about the work of paid contributors to Debian LTS.
Individual reports
In May, 166 work hours have been dispatched among 9 paid contributors. Their reports are available:
- Antoine Beaupré did 20h.
- Ben Hutchings did 10 hours (out of 15 hours allocated, keeping 5 extra hours for June).
- Brian May did 15 hours.
- Chris Lamb did 18 hours.
- Guido Günther did 17.25 hours (out of 8 hours allocated + 9.25 remaining hours).
- Markus Koschany did 30 hours (out of 31 hours allocated, thus keeping one extra hour for June).
- Santiago Ruano Rincón did 20 hours (out of 20h allocated + 8 remaining, thus keeping 8 extra hours for June).
- 8 hours that were initially affected to Scott Kitterman have been put back in the June pool after he resigned.
- Thorsten Alteholz did 31 hours.
Evolution of the situation
The number of sponsored hours stayed the same over May but will likely increase a little bit the next month as we have two new Bronze sponsors being processed.
The security tracker currently lists 36 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file lists 36 packages awaiting an update.
Despite the higher than usual number of work hours dispatched in May, we still have more open CVE than we used to have at the end of the squeeze LTS period. So more support is always needed…
