Development IRC meeting 16 December 2020

Introductions (please use "#info" in front of your introduction to have it show up in the automatic minutes)
Announcements
Update from the Release manager (21.05)
Updates from the Release Maintainers
Updates from the QA team
Actions from last meeting
- davidnind Find and update relevant places to record Perl version required, including release notes, manual and wiki (one source of the truth) (still working on this - feel free to reallocate)
- amoyano advertise 15522 and ask the list for feedback [after 20.11 is released], setup a sandbox, etc.

General development discussion (trends, ideas, ...)
- Release notes: I would like to suggest that patch authors as a matter of course add the release notes summary before it goes to sign off (or at a minimum after QA and before pushed). This would provide a nice summary for those reviewing, would save a massive effort at the end of the release cycle, and help the documentation team so we don't have to wade through the bug history to work out whether documentation changes are required (particularly for very long bugs). davidnind
