Risking some repetition, I also spent time this week on the EMAIL_PROVIDERS PR, now renamed to MAILERS. There was a thoughtful discussion in DEP 0018 around the setting name, which led to this change. The work is now marked Ready for Checkin and should be merged into main shortly .

I spent most of this week travelling to and then enjoying PyCon . Flights were decent, though a bit tiring, but mate definitely helped me get my energy back on track. It was really great to spend time in person with some of our Django friends .
While there, I did some volunteering, attended a number of great talks, and paid particular attention to the security track. I am bringing back a set of useful lessons and advice that should be valuable to apply going forward.

This week was mostly about returning from PyCon , which was quite exhausting. I arrived back on Wednesday, fairly drained (and very hungry ), so I worked during Thu and Fri catching up on a large backlog of email notifications and syncing with the other Fellows.

My primary focus this week was polishing the upcoming security release . I spent time going deeper into areas I am less familiar with to ensure everything was in good shape for release. As release manager, this included reviewing and completing release notes , preparing backports for all three supported stable branches , and crafting the corresponding CVE metadata so records are ready ahead of disclosure (this is part of our CNA responsibilities).
