Description: 
Reminder: As we get ready for the  End-of-life (EOL) of Drupal 7 in January
2025 [1], changes are coming to the Drupal 7 ecosystem.

.... Drupal 7 branches of unsupported modules and themes will no longer be
       eligible for new maintainership

Community support for contributed modules and themes will continue as it has
to date. However, beginning August 1, 2023, once the Drupal 7 branch of a
contributed module or theme is marked unsupported, it will not be eligible
for new maintainership and will not be marked supported again.

This will occur if an existing maintainer marks the module or theme
unsupported, or if the Security Team marks it unsupported for lack of
response. If there are Drupal 7 modules or themes that you or your clients
rely on, then *we strongly encourage you to proactively adopt these projects
[2].*

The Drupal Security Team will not issue security advisories for any
unsupported third-party libraries that Drupal 7 contributed modules or themes
rely on, such as CKEditor 4.

Drupal 7 in January 2025 [3].
