Like each month, here comes a report about the work of paid contributors to Debian LTS.
Individual reports
In March, about 190 work hours have been dispatched among 14 paid contributors. Their reports are available:
- Antoine Beaupré did 19 hours (out of 14.75h allocated + 10 remaining hours, thus keeping 5.75 extra hours for April).
- Balint Reczey did nothing (out of 14.75 hours allocated + 2.5 hours remaining) and gave back all his unused hours. He took on a new job and will stop his work as LTS paid contributor.
- Ben Hutchings did 14.75 hours.
- Brian May did 10 hours.
- Chris Lamb did 14.75 hours.
- Emilio Pozuelo Monfort did 11.75 hours (out of 14.75 hours allocated + 0.5 hours remaining, thus keeping 3.5 hours for April).
- Guido Günther did 4 hours (out of 8 hours allocated, thus keeping 4 extra hours for April).
- Hugo Lefeuvre did 4 hours (out of 13.5 hours allocated, thus keeping 9.5 extra hours for April).
- Jonas Meurer did 11.25 hours (out of 14.75 hours allocated, thus keeping 3.5 extra hours for April).
- Markus Koschany did 14.75 hours.
- Ola Lundqvist did 23.75 hours (out of 14.75h allocated + 9 hours remaining).
- Raphaël Hertzog did 15 hours (out of 10 hours allocated + 6.25 hours remaining, thus keeping 1.25 hours for April).
- Roberto C. Sanchez did 21.5 hours (out of 14.75 hours allocated + 7.75 hours remaining, thus keeping 1 extra hour for April).
- Thorsten Alteholz did 14.75 hours.
Evolution of the situation
The number of sponsored hours has been unchanged but will likely decrease slightly next month as one sponsor will not renew his support (because they have switched to CentOS).
The security tracker currently lists 52 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file 40. The number of open issues continued its slight increase… not worrisome yet but we need to keep an eye on this situation.
