I still feel like I'm missing some context for why this particular CVE 
and this particular package are of interest to you: I don't remember you 
expressing any interest in SDL or SDL_image in the past, and this is a 
low-severity CVE that I was surprised to see being prioritized.

Are you developing or maintaining a game that loads untrusted GIMP XCF 
files using libsdl2-image, or are you doing this on behalf of some group 
that incentivizes number of CVEs removed regardless of their importance, 
or what?

Thanks,
