Hello Moritz,

I've read your bug report at 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1031046

I believe it to be unacceptable to exclude Asterisk from Bookworm. 
Asterisk is used by a LOT of users worldwide and, as you've noted, is 
frequently the subject of security concerns.

The VoIP Team is currently working on a plan to resolve your concerns.

If we don't provide Debian users with secure packages, they will use 
packages from less reputable sources and chaos will ensue.

I believe the VoIP team can deliver on the commitments you are asking 
for, we are working on raising a bigger team of volunteers so we can 
more effectively address CVEs.

Stay tuned.

David
