Week ending 2026-09-20 (Week 38)
A review-heavy week 
, with most of my time going into PR reviews across Django and djangoproject.com. I intentionally prioritized the ongoing sponsorship improvements on djangoproject.com, reviewing several related PRs from @jefftripeltt to help unblock and move that work forward 
. Alongside that, I continued work on two security patches 
, dug quite deeply into `GeneratedField` and ORM internals while triaging a new ticket, and did some follow-up around simplifying our custom Sphinx usage in the Django docs 
.
Heads-up I’ll be mostly off next week since it’s spring break in Uruguay and child is school-less.
Triaged
- #37351 (Altering the null attribute of a GeneratedField should raise when making migrations) – Django - Altering the null attribute of a GeneratedField should raise when making migrations (accepted)
- This required some deep dive on the code and internals of the ORM to understand how `null` works on a model field.
