Like each month, here comes a report about the work of paid contributors to Debian LTS.
Individual reports
In January, about 160 work hours have been dispatched among 11 paid contributors. Their reports are available:
- Antoine Beaupré did 13h (out of 4h allocated + 12.25h remaining, thus keeping 3.25h for February).
- Ben Hutchings did 23 hours (out of 15h allocated + 8 remaining hours).
- Brian May did 10 hours.
- Chris Lamb did 18 hours.
- Emilio Pozuelo Monfort did 9 hours (out of 18.25 hours allocated + 1.25 hours remaining, thus keeping 10.5 hours for February).
- Guido Günther did 6 hours (out of 8h allocated, thus keeping 2h for February).
- Hugo Lefeuvre did 18.25 hours.
- Markus Koschany did 18.25 hours.
- Ola Lundqvist did 14 hours.
- Roberto C. Sanchez did 14.5 hours (out of 18.25 hours allocated, thus keeping 3.75 extra hours for February).
- Thorsten Alteholz did 18.25 hours.
Evolution of the situation
The number of sponsored hours increased slightly at 187 hours per month. It would be nice if the slow growth could continue as the amount of work seems to be slowly growing too.
The security tracker currently lists 23 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file 23 too. The number of open issues seems to be stable compared to last month which is a good sign.
