182 messages (130 human, 52 bot). SDP overflow fix pushed same day (Martin Brodeur). Meson build v10 16-patch series (Bastien Nocera). Multiple security fixes applied: accept_q serialize, HIDP UAF guard, ecred_reconfigure PDU fix. GIT PULL bluetooth 2026-05-06 merged. Short Connection Interval feature v1-v4 (Luiz). getsockopt_iter 7-patch conversion (Breno Leitao). PCI M.2 power seq v2 (Manivannan). 7.1-rc3 Bluetooth regression reported.
A security-focused week with two independent vulnerability disclosures: a use-after-free in l2cap_sock_alloc_skb_cb reported by Safa Karakuş, and an SDP OOB heap read via signed/unsigned confusion (CVSS 8.1H, no pairing required).
A landmark week marked by the BlueZ Face-to-Face Meetup announcement (Nice, France, May 30-31) and Bastien Nocera's massive meson build system v9 series (15 patches, 16 messages) proposing a complete build system migration plus HTML documentation generation.
A week dominated by Naga Bhavani Akella's extraordinary Channel Sounding iteration — posting v3 through v10 (8 revisions, 32 messages) of the BlueZ Channel Sounding implementation, making her the most prolific contributor by a wide margin.
A high-throughput week dominated by Luiz Augusto von Dentz's [GIT PULL] bluetooth-next 2026-04-10 — the fourth bluetooth pull request in five weeks — containing 56 patches from 25 authors covering core fixes, new device IDs, MT7927/MT7902 support, QCA SSR fixes, and Intel Scorpius Peak2 support.
A landmark week for both kernel and BlueZ: the MT7927 (MT6639) Bluetooth support series landed in bluetooth-next, the SMP MITM pairing security fix reached v5 and was applied, and Luiz Augusto von Dentz submitted [GIT PULL] bluetooth 2026-04-01 (applied to netdev/net.git).
A productive week centered on kernel stability fixes and BlueZ documentation. Luiz Augusto von Dentz submitted [GIT PULL] bluetooth 2026-03-25 (applied to netdev/net.git) and led the week with 47 messages.
This was a high-activity week dominated by the bluetooth regression fix saga and Pauli Virtanen's massive functional testing series. Luiz submitted [GIT PULL] bluetooth 2026-03-19 which was applied to netdev/net.git, but not before Thorsten Leemhuis flagged that the L2CAP ident regression fix was "likely to miss -rc5"...
This week saw 175 bluetooth-relevant messages. Activity was dominated by Luiz's [GIT PULL] bluetooth 2026-03-12 submission to net-next, a major btmon documentation overhaul (v1 6-patch + v2 7-patch series), and the v4 L2CAP ECRED fix (applied).
