Django's security team added two members, David Smith and Ken Whitesell, widening the group that reviews and responds to vulnerability reports.
The DSF working groups repository recorded the addition of David Smith and Ken Whitesell to the security team [1]. Sarah Boyce committed the change, and it is marked as breaking for the repository it lives in, meaning the working-groups repo's membership data changes shape rather than Django itself [1]. Anyone tracking the security team roster, whether in docs, tooling, or a downstream fork of the working-groups data, should reconcile against the new list.
Separately, django-asv picked up ubuntu-latest benchmark results, added by the GitHub bot with a skip-ci marker [2]. These are benchmark data points for the ubuntu-latest runner environment, not a change to Django's code or CI configuration.
Nothing here affects Django releases or shipped code. Treat the security team update as a roster change and the ASV commit as benchmark data landing.
