Evolution of the situation
In November we are welcoming Brian May and Lucas Kanashiro back as contributors after they took some break from this work.
Holger Levsen is stepping down as LTS contributor but is taking over the role of LTS coordinator that was solely under the responsibility of Raphaël Hertzog up to now. Raphaël continues to handle the administrative side, but Holger will coordinate the LTS contributors ensuring that the work is done and that it is well done.
The number of sponsored hours increased to 212 hours per month, we gained a new sponsor (that shall not be named since they don’t want to be publicly listed).
The security tracker currently lists 27 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file has 27 packages needing an update.
