Django Fellow Reports
Fellow Report - Natalia
A significant portion of this week was dedicated to security work (yes, again). As usual, details here are intentionally kept at a high level, but the time went into triaging new reports, progressing in-flight likely confirmed issues, validating proposed fixes, and coordinating next steps with the team.
One additional challenge worth noting is the volume of near-duplicate reports; beyond triage, this often requires careful comparison across long submissions to identify what is actually new or meaningfully different.
Fellow Report - Jacob
Easy to miss in the release notes (as we only described the user-facing changes for edge cases), but last week we landed (with great joy) @charettes' defense-in-depth measure for the ORM that ensures user-provided aliases are always quoted.
In addition to the below, another steady week advancing pending security reports.
