This proposal aims to abstract out the actual storage of the encrypted credentials allowing to optionally use a client/server DB as the authentication DB, Postgres being the primary target. The main goal is to be able to use a client/server authentication DB in QGIS Server.
The discussion touched on other options like LDAP and services like Bitwarden or LastPass. Overall the discussion showed wide agreement.

This proposal aims to switch to https://pre-commit.com/ to manage our pre-commit hooks. This framework provides automated installation and configuration of the hooks, it has also a set of pre-defined hooks ready to use.
The discussion showed wide agreement.

This proposal aims to move the old annotation types "text" and "svg" over to the newer framework, in order to provide a more consistent and user friendly interface to QGIS users.
No issues were raised during the discussion.

This proposal aims to smooth plugins migrations from QGIS 3 to QGIS 4 (with Qt 6 support) by providing a static linter able to detect QGIS deprecated classes and methods, Qt 5 deprecated classes and methods, and to actively inform plugin owners on plugins.qgis.org with current warnings.
No issues were raised during the discussion.

This proposal aims to perform the necessary deeper research for revising the authentication system (as discussed in #278)
The discussion suggested to also consider the related proposal qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals#248.

This proposal aims to improve QgsPointCloudIndex and its derived classes to make sure that the code is robust and maintainable in the future. This includes thread safety, better interface to fetch hierarchies and less code duplication.
No issues were raised during the discussion.

This proposal aims to enhance QGIS's handling of tile fetching on the OpenStreetMap (OSM) servers to mitigate abusive tile fetching practices. The key objective is to prevent excessive strain on OSM servers by implementing measures to reduce fetching of tiles during ‘normal’ usage of the OSM tile server as well as discourage mass downloading of tiles through QGIS desktop.
*The discussion revolved around potential optimization options and whether OSM could still do something server-side to reduce the load on their serevers. *

This proposal aims to establish a CI build process for QGIS on Windows using Qt6 and vcpkg to cover Windows platforms, where most QGIS users are coming from. This approach not only facilitates the identification of MSVC-specific issues at an earlier stage but also simplifies the maintenance of OSGeo4W.
The discussion touched on how this could help with the setup of a working development environment on Windows for the purpose of developing and debugging.

This proposal aims to fix WebAssembly (WASM) builds of QGIS to enable the use of projects with COG, vector and XYZ raster tiles, and WMS or WMST (which currently fail to load).
The discussion discussed the question if WASM builds are (going to be) a core part of the QGIS ecosystem, like QGIS Desktop, Server, Web Client, ...

This proposal aims to integrate a feedback form/widgets as a QGIS in-app tool in order to improve the way we gather end-user feedback, particularly for non-English-speaking users who may be hindered by the English-only Github interface.
The discussion focused on how sustainable this would be due to the dependency on the Github API and the already existing difficulties of triaging tickets.

I’m surprised there is no mention of rolling/in-place upgrades for QGIS as this is one area I actively use.
