Over in the council, we've been doing some status updates of this
similar nature, mainly so we all know where we are at (for all the core
things that each of the council members are doing, not just limited to
council business). The last two meetings have been packed with other
stuff, so we've missed that then, but I'm hoping to get back on them
with the meeting later this week.

Various Gentoo things I'm working on presently, outside of the regular
everyday work of ebuild work and infra work:

- GLEP on bug-wrangling process (nailing down the good and the bad of what
our wranglers like Jakub are doing, so would-be wranglers can have a
good idea of what to do).

- Series of GLEPS on signing the tree/Manifests. So far it's 5 GLEPs in
the set (the series working title is 'Security of distribution of Gentoo
software'):
  00 - Overview and Background Information
  01 - Infrastructure to User distribution - MetaManifest
  02 - Developer processes
  03 - Handling of GnuPG for developers and keymasters
  04 - Manifest2 hash policies and security implications
Of this series, 00, 01 and 04 are pretty much complete, but 02 and 03
need a lot more work still.

- Infra work for inbound SMTP servers (two of our older boxes being
repurposed) since the existing box is overload with mail processing.

- Slightly outside of Gentoo, but still relevant, I've been working on
some things with Git so that it's closer to a working solution for CVS
migration (the history slicing feature that we require is completed, and
subtree slicing is in progress).
