Discussion:

- Reminders about long-standing packages in the queue (santiago)
  + There is a benefit to using Salsa issues, including a more thorough
    overview being available in one place
  + Suggestion from buxy: rather than claim the package to get it
    completely fixed, claim the package with a specific timeframe
    objective for making one or more discrete improvements in the state
    of the package
  + Suggestion from Helmut: use available regression testing
    capabilities to ensure that individual fix backports are being
    tested as they are being applied, rather than discovering a
    regression near the end after applying many updates (and having to
    perform lots of investigation to know which one introduced the
    regression)
  + Consider the possibility of "obligatory" assignment of packages for
    the purposes of advancing their state incrementally
  + There is a preference for contributors to voluntarily pick up and
    work on these long-standing packages, rather than assigning them
    obligatorily
- Short news about the lts-team/pipeline (santiago)
  + Force pushed on the lts-team/pipeline project, update your working
    copy if you have one
- AOB
  + In case of more issues with the dcut migrate workflow, contact
    Helmut.
- Next meeting: 2024-07-18 14:00 UTC [Location: #debian-lts on IRC]


Thanks to everyone for participating!

Regards,
