Discussion

• @spacedmonkey working on #57496, #58001 and #59592 all of which could use more eyes on them
  • Request for @peterwilsoncc to review https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/7497
• @mukesh27 The initial context related issue for blocks has been fixed for 6.8 and committed! https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/59662
• @flixos90 looking for reviews for https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/7860, which is for #62503. Since this is a new performance feature, it would be great to get eyes soon – we probably would want to merge this sooner than later to have ample time for testing

This means it is being pushed out to a future release. This typically occurs for lower priority tickets near the end of the release cycle that don't "make the cut." In this is colloquial usage of the word, it means to delay or equivocate. (It also describes a play in American football where a team essentially passes up on an opportunity, hoping to put themselves in a better position later to try again.) unless someone else wants to give it a look.
  • @pbearne offered to review
• @mukesh27 For accurate sizes, opened two PRs, #1795 and #1818, and currently discussing with @joemcgill the best path forward to address the issue for nested blocks. Received some valuable feedback from Joe, which is being implemented
