Yup, sounds like a government project...

The earliest doc I can find quickly shows that the BSI already recommended Wire in 2021 (at least; couldn't find anything earlier). The actual authorization seemed to have happened some time in 2024, but it's possible that just nobody asked for the formal approval before that.

What I'm saying is - just because the BSI authorizes something, doesn't mean that it has to reach the Bundestag ;)
