Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Please consider this a catchall bug report for multiple new debian users who needed to download the linux-firmware tarball from upstream in order to support wifi nics and gpus that are too new to be supported by the binary blobs from July 2019, the most recent available in any debian branch.

I see some recent activity in the kernel-team salsa repo, so maybe you are waiting for some milestone, but a release sooner rather than later would be better for everyone. We are linking https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git on a weekly basis in the support channel(s). 

Thank you for your attention, 

sney
