Sorry for the late reply.
We had talk about this but forgot to send the mail.
Any of the proposed dates is workable for press/website.

Apologies again for the delay.

Updating git-summary

[Cyril Brulebois]

Hey folks,

Until a few hours ago, the following page still had wheezy and jessie:
  https://d-i.debian.org/git-summary.html 

The mapping has been updated with:
  
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/d-i/-/commit/054ba3d27a94ccd5e29df8c1a17d201be3c19d97

This was spotted while checking if we had stuff pending for stretch
(next point release is the last one) and buster, and I thought I'd drop
you all a note, so that those who don't know about that page have a
chance of learning about it. :)

I thought severity was higher than that. Reasoning for serious is that
rendering looks ***bad*** plus this breaking d-i's automated testing.

I'm told desktop users also suffer from that (cc-ing Corsac for a
possible confirmation).
