Compiler Feature Backlog Bonanza

Meeting proposal info

• Title: Compiler Feature Backlog Bonanza
• Type: technical

Summary

We're going to review the backlog of unimplemented or partially implemented compiler features.

Consider e.g. this github query: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?page=2&q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3AC-tracking-issue+-label%3AT-libs-api+-label%3AT-libs+-label%3AT-lang+-label%3AT-rustdoc

UPDATE: new query filtering all C-tracking issues without a team assigned.

UPDATE: new query filtering C-tracking issues filtering where only T-compiler is tagged.

Before the meeting, Felix/Wesley will make a doc that we can fill in with notes on the various statuses. (It might be cool to leverage Github Projects too, see e.g. T-lang's initiatives.)

The list of meeting about this topic is kept updated at this comment.
