From Django Review and Triage Team Member [Sarah Boyce](https://cur.at/YO5BSXm?m=rss)...

Last week we had [10 pull requests](https://cur.at/D6LdGgq?m=rss) merged into Django by 8 different contributors - including 1 first time contributor! Congratulations to [Yaser Amiri](https://cur.at/EgGssf2?m=rss) for having their first commit merged into Django - welcome on board!

Now, from Django 5.0, [@sensitive\_variables and @sensitive\_post\_parameters](https://cur.at/7oWyICK?m=rss) supports async functions!

Are you excited to contribute but not know where to start? Maybe you're interested in migrations? You could add logging of applied/unapplied migrations [#24800](https://cur.at/ibFgQFg?m=rss)and then you'd be perfect to add contributor documentation for django.db.migrations [#24989](https://cur.at/n5aQkrO?m=rss)! Look forward to welcoming you on board!
