    Error

    Big push on security in May to reduce important security issues.

    The following devs (Michael, Thomas, Simon, Pierre) should focus exclusively on fixing max issues from https://jira.xwiki.org/issues/?jql=labels%20%3D%20security%20and%20category%20%3D%2010000%20and%20priority%20%3D%20Critical%20and%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20 and ideally from https://jira.xwiki.org/issues/?jql=labels%20%3D%20security%20and%20category%20%3D%2010000%20and%20priority%20%3D%20Critical%20and%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20and%20created%20%3C%20%22-90d%22

    It would be great to fix at least 4-5 issues per dev (may not be easy because of May holidays).

    Also, let's try to have Manuel and Lucas take some simple security issue(s) in addition to their other work, just to help out.
