A summary of in-flight topics

I hate to send out new issues of the "What's cooking" report too often, but we have too many in-flight topics that are not getting traction they may deserve, so let me send out a summary of the topics listed in the draft I have for the next issue of it.

Those that are marked as "will merge to 'master'" won't be merged immediately; they usually spend at least 1 calendar week in 'next' (the second date on the line for each topic is the date they were merged to 'next').

Perhaps move to "Expecting a hopefully minor and final reroll"? See e.g. https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqedry17r4.fsf@gitster.g/ where you commented on Phillip's approving the code changes but wanting a number of commit message cleanups and fixes. Ævar did send a v3, and Phillip commented on two of those patches, suggesting one could still use some commit message cleanups.

Isn't this already merged as 9ea1378d04 ("Merge branch 'ab/various-leak-fixes'", 2022-12-14) ? Why does it appear under "needing review"? (I started reviewing, and while looking at the existing code noted it already had the relevant changes, then went digging and found it was merged...)

I sent out a v5 since you sent this email, to include some final changes Phillip was suggesting. He seems happy with those (https://lore.kernel.org/git/94deff87-a4a0-e937-7549-3e5348361a12@dunelm.org.uk/), so I agree it can merge down, but please use v5 instead of v4.

I'm in favor, but self votes don't count so...

Thanks, you're right.

The cover letter of its first iteration says

    This is a follow-up to the ab/various-leak-fixes topic merged in
    9ea1378d046 (Merge branch 'ab/various-leak-fixes', 2022-12-14). Like
    that topic this is mixed collection of various leak fixes, all of
    which should be simple to review & reason about.

Unfortunately the text does not appear in the cover for the latest iteration, but that is how the topic name was reused.

THanks.
