Curl summer of bliss (curl will not process security vulnerabilities in July)

response to @maqp and @EsperZero . No one is forcing anyone to work on Curl, so I don’t get the ‘enslavement’ narrative. As I said, there are probably multiple maintainers so they can just put one of them in standby while other take vacation and rotate that way.
Also, I will reiterate that I don’t get why they have to take vacation all at the same time. The reason you create a project with an institution is precisely so it doesn’t rest on the shoulder of one maintainer. That also means you should get the benefit of both being humane (allowing off-time) and being reliable (having off-time for devs without abandoning the project).
And again, even if you were to do such a thing, don’t announce it in advance… And don’t release a new version a week prior.
