Like each month, here comes a report about the work of paid contributors to Debian LTS.
Individual reports
In August, 140 work hours have been dispatched among 10 paid contributors. Their reports are available:
- Balint Reczey did 9.5 hours (out of 14.75 hours allocated + 2 remaining, thus keeping 7.25 extra hours for September).
- Ben Hutchings did 14 hours (out of 14.75 hours allocated + 0.7 remaining, keeping 1.45 extra hours for September).
- Brian May did 14.75 hours.
- Chris Lamb did 15 hours (out of 14.75 hours, thus keeping 0.45 hours for next month).
- Emilio Pozuelo Monfort did 13.5 hours (out of 14.75 hours allocated + 0.5 remaining, thus keeping 2.95 hours extra hours for September).
- Guido Günther did 9 hours.
- Markus Koschany did 14.75 hours.
- Ola Lundqvist did 15.2 hours (out of 14.5 hours assigned + 0.7 remaining).
- Roberto C. Sanchez did 11 hours (out of 14.75h allocated, thus keeping 3.75 extra hours for September).
- Thorsten Alteholz did 14.75 hours.
Evolution of the situation
The number of sponsored hours rised to 167 hours per month thanks to UR Communications BV joining as gold sponsor (funding 1 day of work per month)!
In practice, we never distributed this amount of work per month because some sponsors did not renew in time and some of them might not even be able to renew at all.
The security tracker currently lists 31 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file 29. It’s a small bump compared to last month but almost all issues are affected to someone.
