Stanford's Stanza library: Bhojpuri support
What I did: I opened issue #1654 (10 Aug 2026) because Stanza had no Bhojpuri models. I found the IIT (BHU) Bhojpuri POS corpus and wrote the conversion script for it (#1675), which gives 14,780 sentences. I generalized Stanza's Odia training-data script into a mixed-language script (#1655) that builds the training set from the UD Bhojpuri treebank (BHTB). The model was trained on BHTB plus the IIT corpus, so both training sources came in through my scripts. I fixed short and invalid XPOS tags in UD_Bhojpuri-BHTB (#2). I built a small pilot news corpus from khabarbhojpuri (25 articles, 500 clean sentences), and I shared PURVA text for word vectors and a character model. I ran experiments with Hindi and Urdu donors, and with Hindi as the donor for POS and parsing, comparing MuRIL and IBM's Indic models. On 17 Sep I found near-duplicate sentences across train and test in the treebank, which had inflated my early scores, and reported it on the thread. So I do not quote those scores. Stanza's Bhojpuri files are in stanfordnlp/stanza-bho.
My role: I raised the gap, wrote the data scripts, the tag fixes and the pilot corpus, and ran the experiments. The maintainer trained the models.

GitPython: security advisory
What I did: I found that git accepts shortened long options (for example --upl for --upload-pack), which let a blocked option slip past GitPython's check, and I reported it privately. Someone had reported it a month earlier, and GitHub credited me as a second Finder. The advisory is titled "GitPython: Command Injection via git long-option prefix abbreviation bypass of CVE-2026-42215 blocklist" (CVE-2026-67325, High, CVSS 8.8).
My role: Finder, and I wrote the fix commit.

Kaggle CLI
What I did: #1175 guards tar extraction against path traversal, which is a security fix. #1163 fixes a UnicodeEncodeError when writing kernel logs on Windows.
My role: I found and fixed both.
