Darxus, any chance you can add this information to the warning notice? And I don't think it's obnoxious because once we get things working again, it should be non-existent!

I'm cc'ing Warren again but perhaps someone has a phone number for Warren so we can call him and see if he'll green light releasing the security issue?

Thresholds for both are 150000.  Graph here, updated weekly:

According to that, we're at 29003 spams.  That matches the latest net run,
which it's based on: http://ruleqa.spamassassin.org/20120407-r1310705-n
So as of Saturday, we're at 19.3% of the spam corpora we need.

Spam age limit is 2 months.

The dev list gets an alert every day (from me) if updates haven't been
generated.  It says:

"SpamAssassin version 3.3.2 has not had a rule update since 2012-02-25."

It's pretty obnoxious, but I think it's a big enough problem to justify it
being posted once a day (and I'm apparently not the only one).


New contributors aren't currently allowed due to
https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6694
which has restricted visibility due to being a security bug.  For the past
69 days, it has been waiting for a reply from Warren Togami to okay
declaring it not actually a security problem (which I am in favor of).
It seems this requires another member of the PMC (project management
committee) to step in and declare this not a security bug.  Or for someone
with sufficient access to otherwise "fix" it, which I suspect is a very
small set of people.

Once that's cleared up, new people would be able to contribute data
(just logs of rule hits, not actual email) via
