Yes, I agree, that's the correct place.

That's my understanding as well.

Yeah, I wondered about this also, but I'm unsure why is that, so far.

Yes -- I sent a mail about this to the Ruby team, see [1] for details.

Great, thanks.

So, given the above, I believe this bug should be reassigned to
ruby-activerecord, and schleuder should be marked as affected? Also, I
guess, as this issue is not specific to schleuder, probably more
packages which rely on ruby-activerecord are affected.

I'll prepare a ruby-activerecord proposed-update targeting bookworm.

Cheers,
Georg
