2.5 Years of STA Bug Resilience: how we helped a lot of FOSS
summary
Neighbourhoodie (STA partner) reports concrete wins: engagements run as 40–80 person‑days each, systemd-resolved test coverage rises from 3% → 65% uncovering edge bugs, Yocto/Yatto cleanup processes over 300+ CVE reports with 60+ submissions to NIST, PHP infrastructure consolidation and automated releases, unified systemd documentation using pandoc plugins, Servo Android UI patches and GNOME Blueprint linter added — all aimed at lowering technical debt so projects ship security fixes faster.
