Review new patches and restart review at the top.

​ * State NEW and delegate NOBODY at 633 patches.
  * Reviewing state for the release of glibc 2.42.
  * Note that Fedora mass rebuild with glibc 2.42 snapshot happens this week Wednesday.
   * Carlos: Very interested in getting a good glibc build for the release.
   * Currently Fedora is reverting the internalizing changes, so we should get something upstream.

   * Andreas to provide approval as RM.

  * We will continue to fix this for the release.
  * [v3,1/2] configure: Disable SFrame backtracing (Claudiu)
   * Florian: Does this disable SFrame in backtrace?
   * Carlos: No. We need to disable 4 lines
   * Cupertino: I'm here to help review.
   * Adhemerval: I'd prefer to have this in one patch and disable the backtracer.
   * Next steps: v4 patch with backtrace SFrame check disabled.
  * Andreas: One question. Is 116655 urgent?
  * Florian: No.
  * Andreas: Wait for sframe changes to land and then the final steps.
  * Discussed ppc64le failures with Sachin.
  * Sachin to update the XFAILS for IBM double-double and create a glibc bug to track pown failures.
  * Discussed adding test results to the release page.
  * On track for release, but double-free issue considered a blocker.
