• Ben Hutchings did 20h (out of 20h assigned).
• Brian May did 10h (out of 10h assigned).

Evolution of the situation

January started calm until at the end of the month some LTS contributors met, some for the first time ever, at the Mini-DebCamp preceeding FOSDEM in Brussels. While there were no formal events about LTS at both events, such face2face meetings have proven to be very useful for future collaborations!
We currently have 59 LTS sponsors sponsoring 219h each month. Still, as always we are welcoming new LTS sponsors!

The security tracker currently lists 42 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file has 33 packages needing an update.
