Week ending 2026-03-29 (Week 13)
The first part of the week was devoted to security issues/patches. Then, following discussions with other Fellows and the Fellowship Committee, I shifted work to other priorities for the remainder of the week to help rebalance efforts. In particular, I spent time on contributions with goal of improving signal-over-noise 
, including processing the work from Frank around automated handling of low-quality PRs, and reviewing Jacob’s PR for clarifying Django’s documentation voice and style 
.
