Review sprint #5

[niemeyer]

It’s that time again!

We have quite a few pending PRs open ranging from major features all the way to trivial tweaks. To ensure these get addressed timely, we’ll have a more focused effort over the next few days to work through them. If you are an author or a reviewer, let’s please collaborate towards that.

Below we have the PRs which were open when the sprint started today, and perhaps a few important ones that were opened later and then integrated into the sprint. The notations used are described after the list.

For any required updates unrelated to status changes, please comment below. Status changes will be updated regularly and automatically.
