In his own words, here is a look back over the past year! First of all, I am enormously grateful to everyone who financially supports Servo, as those donations have enabled me to devote significant time to a project that I care a lot about. Some highlights from that funded work that I'm proud of: I nominated 8 new maintainers I reviewed 1150 pull requests I filed 114 issues targeted at newer contributors (92% of them have been fixed) I wrote new documentation about borrow hazards, experimental features, the AI policy, finding things to do, and fixing stable and intermittent test failures On top of that, I spent time diagnosing unexpected failures in others' PRs and fixed numerous intermittent test failures that made merging PRs more difficult for everyone. A few pieces of work from this period that stand out to me: supporting a large scale rewrite of Servo's JS engine integration to address intermittent panics related to garbage collection--I reviewed lots of pull requests, but also filed many issues that enabled the work addressing the panics to be spread across many other contributors getting tagged in to help understand test failures, uncovering our broken window.open behaviour, and eventually making a lot of flaky tests more stable supporting another contributor's grant proposal to work on Servo that was approved! This role I've carved out means a lot to me--I've found a healthy balance that allows me to spend time with my family as well as make meaningful contributions to Servo, and I get to spend a lot of time looking for ways to make the project more accessible for others. A big thank you to everybody supporting the project and my work; each individual monthly donation makes a big difference! I'm excited to see what's possible i ## Emacs arbitrary code execution flaw DevFeed: [Emacs arbitrary code execution flaw]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: jzb Published: 2026-09-14T15:20:00Z Content type: news Language: en Sources: [LWN.net]() Topics: [Lisp](), [vulnerability](), [Maintainers]() Tags: [cve](), [emacs](), [maintainers](), [release](), [vulnerability]() ### AI overview An incomplete fix for the Emacs arbitrary code execution flaw CVE-2024-53920 has been identified. Viewing or editing untrusted files in modes other than Emacs's Lisp mode can also trigger arbitrary code execution. The issue affects Emacs 24 and newer, with a minimal fix queued for Emacs 31.2; upstream maintainers do not expect to backport it to older releases. ### Source excerpt Sean Whitton has announced that the original fix for an arbitrary code execution flaw in Emacs (CVE-2024-53920) was incomplete. Bas Alberts discovered that viewing or editing untrusted files in modes other than Emacs's Lisp mode can also result in arbitrary code execution. This problem affects all Emacs versions affected by CVE-2024-53920. This means Emacs 24 and newer, and possibly also older versions. A minimal fix, attached, is queued up for release with Emacs 31.2. We (the Emacs upstream maintainers) don't expect to backport the fix to older Emacs releases ourselves. LWN covered the original vulnerability in December 2024. ## Security through obscurity is dead, and AI delivered the fatal blow DevFeed: [Security through obscurity is dead, and AI delivered the fatal blow]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Jessica Lyons Published: 2026-09-13T11:21:00Z Content type: news Language: en Sources: [www.theregister.com - Articles]() Topics: [Vulnerabilities](), [Maintainers](), [Chromium]() Tags: [ai](), [ai-agents](), [ai-and-ml](), [black-hat](), [chromium](), [exploits](), [maintainers](), [microsoft](), [open-source](), [security](), [vulnerabilities]() ### AI overview AI-driven bug discovery is exposing long-hidden vulnerabilities in commercial and open-source software, undermining security through obscurity.

It standardizes the manifest and directory layout so developers can distribute one package across clients while preserving client-specific flexibility. Google is joining the Core Maintainers and beginning support in its products. ### Source excerpt Agent Plugins 1.0.0 is a new, vendor-neutral directory specification--backed by Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and others--for packaging Agent Skills and MCP servers into a single portable unit. By standardizing the manifest (plugin.json) and utilizing a fixed directory layout, it eliminates the need for developers to maintain separate wrappers or configurations to support different AI coding agents and IDEs. Google has officially joined as a Core Maintainer and already rolled out support in the Agents CLI and Data Agent Kit, allowing developers to start building and distributing interoperable plugins today. ## Built for agents: Omarchy's pipeline moves to DigitalOcean DevFeed: [Built for agents: Omarchy's pipeline moves to DigitalOcean]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Paddy Srinivasan Published: 2026-09-09T15:30:15Z Content type: release Language: en Sources: [DigitalOcean]() Topics: [Digital Ocean](), [Linux](), [Open Source](), [Maintainers](), [Pull Request](), [Testing]() Tags: [agentic](), [agents](), [compute](), [digitalocean](), [infrastructure](), [linux](), [maintainers](), [news](), [open](), [open-source](), [qa](), [review](), [upgrade]() ### AI overview DigitalOcean is becoming the agentic compute provider for Omarchy, a keyboard-first Linux desktop built on Arch and Hyprland. Omarchy's production pipeline, packaging builds, pull request review agents, and QA testing now run on DigitalOcean infrastructure. ### Source excerpt Omarchy is a keyboard-first Linux desktop built on Arch and Hyprland by David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH), and its production pipeline, packaging builds, PR review agents, and QA testing, now run on DigitalOcean. Agent workloads don't behave like a typical web server. They're bursty and parallel: an agent spins up, does one job, and shuts down. Omarchy's pipeline is a real example of that pattern, and DigitalOcean infrastructure complements its needs. A single doctl command can provision a Droplet, run the job, call separately configured inference services, and destroy the Droplet when the work is done. Alongside the infrastructure move, DigitalOcean is joining the Omacom Foundation, the nonprofit that funds Omarchy's infrastructure and the open source projects it depends on, as a Founding Corporate Patron, and will serve as Omarchy's agentic compute provider. "I'm thrilled to have DigitalOcean become a Founding Corporate Patron of the Omacom Foundation, and our new agentic compute provider as well. We have such grand ambitions for Omarchy, and it's time we upgrade our technical infrastructure to match. Whether it's build servers for packaging, agent runners for PR reviews, or Droplets for QA testing, DigitalOcean simply has everything we need. They also have the right mindset for the future and our new age of agents. Couldn't imagine a better fit!" -- David Heinemeier Hansson, creator of Omarchy What's Next Coming soon, DigitalOcean and Omarchy plan to release a 1-click Omarchy Droplet available through the DigitalOcean Marketplace, enabling developers to quickly deploy the same environment used by the maintainers. ## The First Ever Zephyr Maintainers Forum DevFeed: [The First Ever Zephyr Maintainers Forum]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Zephyr Project Published: 2026-09-09T11:51:29Z Content type: news Language: en Sources: [Zephyr Project]() Topics: [Maintainers](), [Open Source]() Tags: [2026](), [blog](), [contributors](), [europe](), [event](), [events](), [industry-conference](), [location](), [maintainers](), [open-source](), [open-source-summit](), [summit](), [technical]() ### AI overview The Zephyr Maintainers Forum will take place on October 6, 2026, at the Prague Congress Centre alongside Open Source Summit Europe.

It discusses the feature's practical benefits for optimizing generic code and its role in type inference, while noting a small breaking change to previous Rust editions. ### Source excerpt A function's return type is supposed to indicate the kind of data that it produces. Rust's "never" type, which is denoted by an exclamation mark ("!"), is the type the language uses to mark a function that never returns and other places where a value can never occur. For a long time, the never type was used internally by the compiler, but was considered an unstable feature. On August 24, after more than two years of work, Rust-compiler-contributor "waffle" finally managed to stabilize the type. It took so long, in part, because it involved a small breaking change to previous Rust editions, which the compiler maintainers needed to ensure did not impact much real code. ## An RTOS for Ages Two and Up -- Zephyr Podcast #049 DevFeed: [An RTOS for Ages Two and Up -- Zephyr Podcast #049]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Benjamin Cabé Published: 2026-09-04T20:01:01Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Zephyr Project]() Topics: [Embedded Software Dev](), [Testing](), [Arduino](), [Hardware](), [Maintainers](), [GitHub](), [Robotics](), [Wi-Fi]() Tags: [arduino](), [blog](), [engineering](), [firmware](), [github](), [halow](), [hardware](), [harness](), [maintainers](), [open](), [podcast](), [robotics](), [test](), [zephyr]() ### AI overview Zephyr Podcast episode 049 covers open-firmware hardware that does not yet run Zephyr, hardware-in-the-loop testing with Twister's pytest harness, project growth and contributors, Arduino Core for Zephyr 1.0, maintainer news, new drivers and subsystems, Wi-Fi HaLow support, and Zephyr's robotics community. ### Source excerpt The Dato DUO and the Teenage Engineering catalogue: lovely open-firmware noise machines that do not run Zephyr ...yet!

It recommends classifying roadmap items by availability and stability, evaluating them against concrete problems and current documentation, recording fallbacks and constraints, and setting a review trigger before considering architectural changes. ### Source excerpt Framework roadmaps are useful because they show where maintainers expect the design to move. They are not release guarantees and they do not replace an application's own constraints. Convert roadmap items into explicit questions before changing architecture. Classify each item Place a roadmap item in one of four groups: available and documented; available but experimental; announced but not released; or directional only. Only the first group should normally support a production decision without added risk controls. For experimental work, record the fallback and the boundary that contains it. ## Submissions open for Godot 2026 showreel DevFeed: [Submissions open for Godot 2026 showreel]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Emi Published: 2026-08-15T13:00:00Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Godot Engine Official]() Topics: [Godot](), [Development](), [App]() Tags: [2026](), [development](), [games](), [maintainers](), [news](), [people](), [projects](), [recurrent](), [tools](), [videos]() ### AI overview Godot invites creators to submit videos of published or in-progress games and tools for the 2026 Godot Showreel.

It emphasizes automation designed to improve reviewer efficiency while preserving human accountability for agent-generated changes. ### Source excerpt The AI SDK is one of the most popular open-source AI projects in the world. It serves over 20 million npm downloads a week and the repo has over 26,000 stars. Maintaining the codebase means tracking four moving targets at once: Model providers: new providers, new capabilities, and new bugs UI frameworks: bindings for React, Next.js, Svelte, Vue, and others Sandboxes: the execution environments agents run code in Harnesses: adapters for Codex, Claude Code, Pi, and others After multiple years of growth, the repo was getting 100+ new issues every month, and when Anthropic's Opus 4.6 model was released, PRs hit an inflection point. By late June, that compounding had accumulated over 1,000 open issues and almost 800 pull requests. That backlog is not a discipline problem. No maintainer, however good, can close that gap by working harder, and because generating code is cheap, it will only grow. Instead of trying to scale ourselves, we built a software factory. Four weeks in, it authors between 25 and 35% of PRs we merge and closes 70-80% of issues. Deciding what type of factory to build Before we built anything, we had to answer three questions: Why our existing approach using agents wasn't enough What level of automation fit a project like the AI SDK How to align automation and human effort to risk Why not add more agents? The best maintainers are already using agents aggressively. Mitchell Hashimoto runs Ghostty with the goal of an agent always working, and encodes every agent failure in AGENTS.md so it never repeats. Simon Willison runs four coding agents in parallel, and review bots like Vercel Agent and CodeRabbit sit on millions of repos. Other maintainers like Daniel Stenberg have opted to block AI-generated submissions to curl. All of it helps, but none of it solves for the core constraint: every one of these solutions still routes every change through one human's attention.

We're proud to have had the opportunity to lead by example in bottom-up, consensus-focused governance for Nixpkgs, and of our achievements over the past 10 months, including reforming the committer delegation process and onboarding 19 new committers, empowering maintainers by extending the merge bot, re-establishing contact with GitHub and securing the sponsored Enterprise Cloud upgrade, helping triage GHSA-67f2-674w-6g63 and track the GitHub security risks exposed by that incident, and establishing an initial automation/AI policy, as well as helping resolve many incidents that were escalated to us. However, it has sadly not turned out to be the lightweight role compatible with active technical contribution that we had originally hoped it would be, and two weeks ago we reached the conclusion that stepping down is necessary for our health. We believe that it's unsustainable for the team to continue, as demonstrated in part by our attrition to date. With only one person actively applying in response to our call for new members and mixed response to outreach, recruiting sufficiently to keep things healthy looks untenable. Therefore, especially with a Steering Committee election due imminently, we think the best way forward for Nixpkgs governance is to be honest about the circumstances that have made dissolving the team unavoidable, in the hopes that it may help future efforts. Our experience is that the Steering Committee as an institution lacks a native instinct for the delegation envisioned by the constitution, while also not being sufficiently engaged and cohesive to handle individual decisions at those levels itself. This manifests as unnecessary micromanagement of teams below them and chronically poor communication, including lack of clarity from SC members about when they're speaking for themselves or representing a joint position, matters brought to our attention with desired outcomes already attached, ## Python 3.15.0 candidate 1 is here!
