Hi all,

and especially maintainers and those of you that have made comment in the header review:

There are a lot of pending comments, many of which seem to be "nice to have” (redundant `inline` keywords, implementation details) remarks that can be fixed at any point later, or simply lived with as they are. It’s hard to say what must be done before the release.

So at this point, please transfer any pending items that, in your opinion, must be addressed before the 6.8 release (because they cannot be fixed later) into JIRA as release blockers. That typically means a P1 ticket with the fix-version set to 6.8 RC.

This is as per https://contribute.qt-project.org/quips/10:

"Any issues raised in review should be recorded in the bug-tracking system as blockers of the primary review task and of the release. The blocker's identifier shall be used as the Task-number: footer in any commits that seek to resolve the issue. Such issues are closed once the API correction has been merged and the API review has been updated to include the fix.”
