Yes, I know the workarounds :) Both solutions have been outlined in the

The question was indeed more about the notarization process and
verification by Apple, so from a technical point of view,... :) Knowing
what is blocking here from a tech POV etc.

GIMP has fixed the issue for their own installers and I'm pretty sure
the GIMP dev who fixed it could provide some help to TDF if we are
willing to :)

There is a potential workaround which requires the adminstrator (in most
cases, this is the main user of the Mac anyway), to specifically grant
full disk access to the LibreOffice app bundle, via :

System Preferences > Security and Confidentiality > Allow Full Disk
Access > then add the LibreOffice app to the list.

Obviously, most users will be loathe to actually do this as it
specifically removes the protections around the jailed/containered
"secure" application environment that Apple expects users (and
application providers) to abide by.

As to whether something is being considered from a coding point of view
to resolve the problem, I have no idea.

I'm jumping on this "notarization" problem. Do we have any news to share
about this topic?

Just asking because over the last 24 hours, I have got multiple
complains about this topic on the LibreOfficeFR Twitter account. Our end
users just want to get some updates about this topic.

Where is the problem? Is the issue on our side? Is Apple answering at
all? Will this be fixed for 6.3.4?

Thanks for you answer :)

Regards,
