Description
@rust-lang/wg-learning let's collect here PRs that may help readers understanding different parts of the compiler.
I've started this list, it's raw and there may be things that shouldn't be there but I guessed it would be better to share as is, rather than waiting longer. We can start polishing it, adding more PRs, removing some of them, adding more information next to each PR like explaining what part of the compiler each PR is going to help explaining, etc.

Start by reviewing the raw PR list in the linked HackMD document and the discussion in issue #619. Identify which entries help explain distinct parts of the compiler, then add useful context, remove unsuitable entries, and leave the list in a polished state.
