Hi Nyall,

Thank you for moving this issue forward to make QGIS more maintainable.

However, unless I'm mistaken, I haven't received a response to my comment (https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/pull/385# issue-comment-4657354328) on the QEP asking to follow a phased deprecation plan and to properly inform users and developers before it takes effect.

I think this is really important, because as you yourself write here and there, QGIS is no longer a hobby project or one that can introduce breaking changes without considering end users.

Can we please wait to establish a clear plan to communicate and make the removal progressive (and no merging https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/66545 right now)?

kind regards,
Julien

Hi Nyall,

I have unblocked the version from security flags and made it ready for review and 
approval. The "Security issue detected" badge is still shown but it won't block 
approval.

Hopefully, we will deploy https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Plugins-Website/pull/316 
soon so plugins authors can properly skip specific checks. We are still waiting 
for some authors to confirm their email by the 10 July expiration date so we 
can communicate this properly.
Until then, please let me know if a new version of this plugin is coming that 
needs to be unblocked from flagged security issues.
Thanks Lova, much appreciated!

Nyall

Best regards,

Hi list,

In order to implement the demotion of db manager to a community plugin (See 
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/blob/master/qep-426-demote_dbmanager.md)
 I need to be able to push a current version of that plugin to the plugin 
repository.

I've tried this at https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/db_manager/, but the plugin 
is flagged with over 100 security issues due to extensive use of exec and SQL 
injection risks.

Short story: I'm not going to fix these. (And it's a little ironic that we've 
got more stringent requirements on 3rd party plugins then a previously 
default-installed official plugin πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚)

Can someone with appropriate rights allow-list this plugin to skip the security 
scan for now?

Nyall
