Bug#859122: about 500 DLAs missing from the website

[Antoine Beaupre <anarcat@debian.org>]

Package: www.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi!

First, thanks for doing the work of importing DLAs and DSAs in the
website, it is greatly appreciated.

However, during a discussion on the debian-lts@ mailing list, we have
noticed that DLAs since squeeze LTS support was terminated have not
been imported:

An excerpt from the discussion:

Is there any reason why new DLAs have not been imported?

Is there anything we can do to help in completing that import?

I will open a separate ticket regarding possible automation shortly.

Thanks!
