father feedback.

2.83
====
* There are way too many unclassified reports - 117, 5 of which are
high priority - module owners and members at the very least check if
there are high priority issues among them.
* There are 22 to 26 high priority issues at the moment.
* Brecht Van Lommel will work on Cycles/render related issues and
review fixes from Richard Antalík.
* There are plenty of graphics card issues that Clément Foucault and
Jeroen Bakker can help.
* There are also a few sculpting issues for Pablo Dobarro.
* Besides the other issues.
* bcon4 is next week!

LTS
====
* There is almost no time to implement Blender side changes for 2.83.
* A proposal is still under discussion internally among Ton
Roosendaal, Francesco Siddi and Dalai Felinto, to be presented as soon
as possible for feedback and final deliberations.
