11 Ok, technically I'm not security lead, but since I and rbu almost
12 completely handled the security team since 2 months, I think I can at
13 least give my opinions on what's going on.

19 security:
20 Well, with an average of ~ 1 GLSA/day for November and December, things
21 are going a little bit better than some months ago. We still have too
22 many open bugs (~115),but we tend to be a little more reactive since we
23 now actively monitor the vendor-security mailing list plus the freshly
24 attributed CVE ids, so we're able to file bugs and get them corrected
25 before they go public. This also means arches security liaisons should
26 be prepared to get called more often from now on.

32 Personally, I'd like that we become more regular for the GLSA releases,
33 instead of doing nothing for days then rushing to send 10 GLSAs in 2 days.
34 I'd also like to take care of the really old bugs, say, opened for at
35 least 6 months (~25 at the moment).
36 Don't know if we'll manage to do it, but at least we'll try.

39 This was a (very) short reply, sec team members are of course
40 welcome to complete.
