Remark: No you never would upload just because not hearing anything
;-) That does not help, the uploads won't be published without review
and manual intervention to release the DSA. That said, I had a look.

Debdiffs looks good to me, thanks for preparing them.

Can you add here please as well the bug closer?

Then please upload to security-master, and make sure to build with
-sa.

Debian bookworm is still supported for one month, can you prepare as
well an update for it, please? Note there is as well a no-dsa CVE for
kitty: CVE-2025-43929, can you check its backportability and include
this one as well for the bookworm-security update?

Regards,
Salvatore
