The way #qemu handles #security bugs is changing. Routing the recent tsunami of reports through an overworked email alias has become untenable so we are switching to using our main issue tracker. More people can help with the triage but that does affect expectations of secrecy. See the updates on the …

Today I spent a long time staring at the #linux kernel's dsb_sev(); trying to figure out why it wasn't triggering the WFE patches I've written for #qemu and it turns out we've tripped an errata workaround. So the bug isn't in my code, but there is still a bug ;-)

Keeping the #qemu issue tracker under control involves regularly triaging the reports and labelling them so they can (hopefully) be routed to a developer who can look deeper. We have had an up-tick in submissions recently so I've experimented with an #agentskill to off-load some of the more rout…

It's been a while since #qemu put its original #llm contribution policy in place. It's now time to re-evaluate the policy and potentially update it:

Finally finished by issue triage marathon for #QEMU and we now have zero untagged issues. Of course that doesn't mean they are fixed (as of today we have 1271 open issues) but now hopefully it is easier to ensure bugs get routed to the right people.
