Like each month, here comes a report about the work of paid contributors to Debian LTS.
Individual reports
In July, about 181 work hours have been dispatched among 11 paid contributors. Their reports are available:
- Antoine Beaupré did 20h (out of 16h allocated + 4 extra hours).
- Ben Hutchings did 14 hours (out of 15h allocated, thus keeping 1 extra hour for August).
- Chris Lamb did 18 hours.
- Emilio Pozuelo Monfort did 18.5 hours (out of 23.5 hours allocated + 8 hours remaining, thus keeping 13 hours for August).
- Guido Günther did 10 hours.
- Hugo Lefeuvre did nothing due to personal problems (out of 2h allocated + 10 extra hours, thus keeping 12 extra hours for August).
- Markus Koschany did 23.5 hours.
- Ola Lundqvist did not do anything (out of 14h allocated + 2 extra hours, thus keeping 16 hours for August).
- Raphaël Hertzog did 7 hours (out of 12 hours allocated but he gave back his remaining hours).
- Roberto C. Sanchez did 19.5 hours (out of 23.5 hours allocated + 12 hours remaining, thus keeping 16 extra hours for August).
- Thorsten Alteholz did 23.5 hours.
Evolution of the situation
The number of sponsored hours increased slightly with two new sponsors: Leibniz Rechenzentrum (silver sponsor) and Catalyst IT Ltd (bronze sponsor).
The security tracker currently lists 74 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file 64. The number of packages with open issues increased of almost 50% compared to last month. Hopefully this backlog will get cleared up when the unused hours will actually be done. In any case, this evolution is worth watching.
