I'm planning to do a pass like I did for v11's last CF before the start
of it. That still requires others to chime in, my opinion alone
shouldn't be the sole deciding factor...
What we'd talked about briefly at the Fosdem dev meeting was that a
field 'target release' or 'target branch' would be very useful to be
able to focus attention more. There's plenty stuff in the current CF
that is getting some attention, and deserves a bit more, but that
clearly isn't aimed for v12. Being able to filter by that would be huge.
Magnus has said he'd try creating something like that.
