Drupal 7 has an end of life in January 2025, which means no more security updates. Over 40% of CiviCRM sites are still using Drupal 7. Site owners should have a plan to upgrade. There are a few options: Drupal 10, WordPress, Standalone, or Backdrop CMS.

2 years 9 months ago

Many many years ago (quite possibly 2016), at about the same time, AGH Strategies and the Progressive Technology Project (PTP) each developed an extension called "Petition Email."
