Though I have something more to add here.

Don't unleash your army of clankers (I believe the formal term is 'AI agents') on this project; it's already happening to many open source projects lately, and this one has just been revived. It doesn't need to be inundated with hallucinations and pointless fixes.

The maintainers also request that anyone opening a pull request for a bug fix show a way to reproduce the problem first.

Yeah, the modern kiss of death to any project.

I use LightDM on my daily driver and hadn't noticed it hadn't received any updates, but yep, it's there in this morning's batch, nice.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
