Django Fellow Reports
Fellow Report - Natalia
Big week. I issued security releases early in the week, and then the Django 6.0 final release right after. Getting both out the door smoothly took most of my focus, and it felt good to see them completed.
The flow of LLM driven contributions is becoming hard to ignore, across PRs, tickets, and even security reports. Skynet would be proud (?). This week was also heavy on meetings and coordinations.
