Sponsorship for the Openwall lists
Alexander "Solar Designer" Peslyak, the longtime maintainer of the
oss-security and linux-distros mailing lists, has announced
that this work has gained a sponsor:
After 15+ years of being a 100% volunteer effort, Openwall's maintenance of oss-security and (linux-)distros is finally sponsored by the OpenSSF, a project of the Linux Foundation. This sponsorship does not provide the Linux Foundation with the ability to set policies for community resources managed by Openwall. I am grateful for the support, which will help ensure continued operation of these resources on a new level while retaining independence.
As part of this arrangement, Peslyak is now producing statistics on
vulnerability handling; the first
set for 2023 has been posted.
