Django Fellow Report - Jacob - 2025

Week ending 2025-10-05 (Week 40)

Security topics dominated the week: security releases on Wednesday (thanks Natalia for answering all my questions!), onboarding for becoming a CVE Numbering Authority, and significant engagement on reports.

Outside of security, a highlight was reviewing work to add support for ArrayField indexes in QuerySet.update(). Afterward I found a review of a prior attempt. Checking the “answer key”, I was relieved to see I was broadly in line with the prior comments. :smile:

Thanks to Carlton and Will for having me on Django Chat. :television:
