Contributions summary:Mahé primarily focused on updating the CVE feed shortcode within the Kubernetes website repository. Their contributions involved adapting the layout to accommodate the new JSON feed format and incorporating updates to display the last update time. They also ensured the feed's compliance with the JSON feed 1.1 standard, changing the build-breaking check to a warning, reflecting a careful approach to external dependencies. These changes demonstrate a focus on maintaining accurate and up-to-date security information within the website.
