Review new patches and restart review at the top.

 * State NEW delegate NOBODY at 248 patches.
 * Carlos' SLI at 156 days.
 * https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30301 (memalign improvement introduced regressions)
  * Discussed what we need to do to fix the issue.
 * Adhemerval: Raised the issue of submitted bugs for the upcoming release?
  * Required? Desired? Useful? Filtered?
  * Carlos: Unless someone asks for a shortened NEWS list, I'd leave these there as an artifacts of showing development in progress.
  * Florian: Notes that Version field in bugzilla includes 2 upcoming versions so that bugs in devel can be tracked correctly for pre-release based on date.
 * Started at 67211
 * LoongArch: Ensure consistency with kernel by using union for struct members in mcontext_t and ucontext_t. (Caiyin Yu)
  * Noted that these changes seem odd given that any implementation can pick names as required.
 * [v2,18.2/34] hurd: Port trampoline.c to x86_64 (Sergey)
 * [v2,18.1/34] hurd: Do not declare local variables volatile (Sergey)
 * [v2] hurd: Implement sigreturn for x86_64 (Sergey)
 * x86/dl-cacheinfo: remove unsused parameter from handle_amd (Andreas)
  * Needs review from anyone. Fairly generic cleanup.
 * implement dlmem() function (stsp)
  * Carlos to comment again about dlmem().
 * build-many-glibcs.py: --disable-gcov for gcc-first (Jan-Benedict Glaw)
  * Discussed briefly to disable gcov.
  * Carlos: I'll look at this briefly to commit.
 * https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30293
  * Needs review in light of the glibc implementaiton.
 * [v2] Add tests for strdup and strndup (BZ #30266) (Joe)
  * Adhemerval reviewing test additions.
 * [v5,1/1] Created tunable to force small pages on stack allocation. (Cupertino)
  * Adhemerval to review.
  * Carlos: This seems like we should be doing this by default?
  * Florian: Guard page size could be 2MiB
  * Carlos: Split the tcb from stack?
  * Florian: Note that the reported RSS increase is not technically real because it's untouched thread stack.
  * Adding a tunable is a good first step.
 * [v3] elf: Fix slow tls access after dlopen [BZ #19924] (Szabolcs)
  * Still needs review. Important for the release.
 * [v2] manual: Document __wur usage under _FORTIFY_SOURCE (Siddhesh)
  * Florian to review.

  * Carlos to review.
