Like each month, here comes a report about the work of paid contributors to Debian LTS.
Individual reports
In May, 198 work hours have been dispatched among 14 paid contributors. Their reports are available:- Abhijith PA did 18.0h (out of 14h assigned and 4h from April).
- Anton Gladky gave back the assigned 10h and declared himself inactive.
- Ben Hutchings did 19.75h (out of 17.25h assigned and 2.5h from April).

- Dylan Aïssi gave back the assigned 6h and declared himself inactive.
- Emilio Pozuelo Monfort did not manage to work LTS in May and now reported 5h work in April (out of 17.25h assigned plus 46h from April), thus is carrying over 58.25h for June.

Evolution of the situation
In May 2020 we had our second (virtual) contributors meeting on IRC, Logs and minutes are available online. Then we also moved our ToDo from the Debian wiki to the issue tracker on salsa.debian.org.
Sadly three contributors went inactive in May: Adrian Bunk, Anton Gladky and Dylan Aïssi. And while there are currently still enough active contributors to shoulder the existing work, we like to use this opportunity that we are always looking for new contributors. Please mail Holger if you are interested.
Finally, we like to remind you for a last time, that the end of Jessie LTS is coming in less than a month!
In case you missed it (or missed to act), please read this
post
about keeping Debian 8 Jessie alive for longer than 5 years.
If you expect to have Debian 8 servers/devices running after June 30th 2020, and would
like to have security updates for them, please get in touch with
Freexian.
The security tracker currently lists 6 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file has 30 packages needing an update.
