Sponsorship for the Openwall lists

Alexander “Solar Designer” Peslyak, the longtime maintainer of the
oss-security and linux-distros mailing lists, has announced
that this work has gained a sponsor:

After 15+ years of being a 100% volunteer effort, Openwall’s
maintenance of oss-security and (linux-)distros is finally
sponsored by the OpenSSF, a project of the Linux Foundation. This
sponsorship does not provide the Linux Foundation with the ability
to set policies for community resources managed by Openwall. I am
grateful for the support, which will help ensure continued
operation of these resources on a new level while retaining
independence.

As part of this arrangement, Peslyak is now producing statistics on
vulnerability handling; the first
set for 2023
has been posted.

[$] The BPF-programmable network device

Containers and virtual machines on Linux communicate with the world via
virtual network devices. This arrangement makes the full power of the
Linux networking stack available, but it imposes the full overhead of that
stack as well. Often, the routing of this networking traffic can be
handled with relatively simple logic; the BPF-programmable network device,
which was merged for the 6.7 kernel release, makes it possible to avoid
expensive network processing, in at least some cases.
