… but I see some heavy activity in the last couple of days, which makes me happy. Would it be realistic to set as a target to commit all stuff that has both HAS-PATCH and TESTED before RC1? If yes, what can we do to help?
On the release-notes front, I just finished a list of all contributors that have received props from r11552 (start of 2.9-rare) up to r12218 (committed earlier today), along with full names and links for the most part.

We should focus on bugs in new features and regressions.
We should not go on a big commit marathon when we have limited tester bandwidth as it will be harder to track down new regressions.

Thanks for the answer!
I’ll make a note to bring this up again after 2.9 final is out.

Westi, this is not working in 2.8.6 correctly either. I agree the capability should work in parent and child themes if it is to be included.
