Like each month, here comes a report about the work of paid contributors to Debian LTS.
Individual reports
In August, 212.5 work hours have been dispatched among 13 paid contributors. Their reports are available:
- Adrian Bunk got 8h assigned (plus 18 extra hours from July), but did nothing, thus he is carrying over 26h to September.

- Brian May did 10 hours (out of 10 hours allocated).
- Chris Lamb did 18 hours (out of 18 hours allocated).

- Ola Lundqvist got 8h assigned (plus 8 extra hours from August), but did nothing and gave back 8h, thus he is carrying over 8h to September.

Evolution of the situation
August was more or less a normal month, a bit still affected by summer in the area where most contributors live: so one contributor is still taking a break (thus we only had 13, not 14), two contributors were distracted by summer events and another one is still in training.
It’s been a while that we haven’t welcomed a new LTS sponsors. Nothing worrisome at this point as few sponsors are stopping, but after 5 years, some have moved on so it would be nice to keep finding new ones as well. We are still at 215 hours sponsored by month.
The security tracker currently lists 42 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file has 39 packages needing an update.
