Evolution of the situation
In November we had a few more hours available to dispatch than we had contributors willing and able to do the work and thus we are actively looking for new contributors. Please contact Holger if you are interested to become a paid LTS contributor.
The number of sponsored hours stayed the same at 212 hours per month but we actually lost two sponsors and gained a new one (silver level).
The security tracker currently lists 30 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file has 32 packages needing an update.
