Hi

As mentioned in https://lists.security.metacpan.org/cve-announce/msg/41903267/

| GD::SecurityImage has not been updated since 2018, the module is
| flagged as ADOPTME on CPAN, and the git repository is archived as
| read-only, which prevents issues and pull requests from being created.
|
| Users are advised to find an alternative solution.

I think we should try to find a way to release forky without the
module and so filling it as RC level. I know that will impact some
reverse dependencies which maybe can move away from it?

Worst case oward forky release we could mark it as forky-ignored and
try again for duke.

Regards,
Salvatore
