Jira users limit update

250 more users (so users can now create new accounts) and indication of how
to use REST API to clean more users


Ideas

   -

   can we make an "anonymous" read-only user to access release notes?
   -

   problem will go away as prior release notes available in github


To try navigate to:
https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/jira/software/c/projects/GEOS/issues/?filter=allissues,
click back to project, login is required.

Jukka reports direct link to release notes is okay (2.12-RC1):
https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10000&version=16600


New releases (2.20.3)
https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10000&version=16838

handling of security vulnerabilities

Some email discussion:

   -

   email discussion clarifies current practice
   -

      We may wish to add this to the developers guide? Can hand out link …
      -

   Consider
   
https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/repository-security-advisories/about-github-security-advisories-for-repositories
   -

      Could enable, geoserver would get actually CVE
      -

      Alerts community once patch is released…
      -

      May take place of current procedure
      -

   Review outstanding issues, several are already closed/resolved - just
   not announced as they were waiting for prior releases to age out
   -

      Consider tagging, will need to remember when making new RC to check
      -

   action: take github advisory discussion to geoserver-devel list

ML archives

Notes:

   -

   nabble is gone still mentioned here http://geoserver.org/comm/
   -

   sourceforge archive got stuck, and is now unstuck …



action: update communication page to change from nabble to mailarchive :

   -

   users
   <https://www.mail-archive.com/geoserver-users@lists.sourceforge.net/>
   -

   devel
   <https://www.mail-archive.com/geoserver-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/>


Java 11?

More and more dependencies are Java 11 only …

   -

   some "updated" by accident (did not notice)


Why now?

   -

   2 years of Java 11 support if we update for 2.22.x timeframe?


Can we skip Java 11 and go to Java 17 LTS?

   -

   Would requite ImageIO → ImageN (not ready yet, no tests)
   -

   no spring framework yet
   -

   library issues: ASAM and Mockito


action: aaime: Make a proposal to make 2.22.x Java 11 only.
