I've cleared the low-hanging fruit again and handled the ones I can handle, clearing out most of the in-progress ones.
The rest of these need someone to step up and take responsibility for them if they're gonna get done. Thanks to all that have helped so far.
......... updated initial message below ........
There are several packages that need security updates that either have not been built yet, or there are some issues that need help and/or input from packagers.
Please help out with these where you can.
I'll try to organize these into categories and give a little info on them so it's easy to see if you can and want to help.
