[releng] Issue #7793: Implement new Fedora Security policy for retiring packages with security bugs
huzaifas reported a new issue against the project: `releng` that you are following: `` We need to implement the new Fedora Security policy as per: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel-announce@lists.fedorapro...
"If a CRITICAL or IMPORTANT security issue is currently open against a package, or a security issue of lower severity has been open for at least 6 months, four weeks before the branch point a procedure similar to long-standing FTBFS will be triggered immediately, with 8 weeks of weekly notifications to maintainers and subsequent orphaning and then subsequent removal from distribution. This applies to all packages, not just leaf."
So before 4 weeks before the branch point, we need to ensure that: 1. Packages which have any pending critical or important security flaws open ie:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_severity=urgent&bug_severity...
are marked for FTBS and not built.
2. Packages which have any <important flaws open for atleast 6 months or more ie:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_severity=urgent&bug_severity...
are marked for FTBS and not build.
* When do you need this? 2019-01-01 - Much before the last branch point.
* If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact? Fedora 30 will ship lot of insecure packages. Major issue for the release. ``

[12:27:02] <nirik> so yeah, there's a lot of manual looking work there. [12:27:21] <nirik> I wonder if we could coordinate with the orphan cleanup stuff... [12:27:39] <mboddu> nirik: May be [12:28:00] <mboddu> That has been a long standing issue as well [12:28:47] <nirik> yeah [12:29:32] <mboddu> Hmmm [12:30:26] <mboddu> nirik: Probably when Tomas joins, we can have more time at hands to automate this work [12:30:51] <nirik> yeah, we should automate this as much as we can [12:31:54] <mboddu> #info Since due to resource availability, we will work on this ticket next year ``

Honestly folks, i would like to help, but i have no idea what i can do to help. Ping again, can someone pls pick this up. We wished this would happen on Fedora 30 timeline, but that seems like a distant dream to me. ``

kevin added a new comment to an issue you are following: `` I think releng should try and provide two things:
1. Where this work is in their queue of other work. This would allow you to at least see when it could be gotten to, and if you object to the priority of it. 2. What you could do to help get the work done.
Perhaps we could discuss this at our next meeting?
