Hi Rhonda!
Just to let you know, it's not high priority, but it's still on our
dashboard. :) LTS issues are prioritized by how many people have the
affected packages installed, and irssi is one of the packages that have
"votes". Considering it's a remote DOS, I still believe it's worth
fixing.
We are happy, of course, to wait for you to make the update if you still
plan on doing so, now that updates trickled down in stretch/jessie. Do
let us know, however, if you want the LTS team to take care of it for
wheezy.
Thanks!
