Hi!
This mail is mainly for the network-team folks, but I'm sending it to tor-dev anyway in case it's helpful to anybody else.
I've made a new page for our 0.4.1 status, based on Teor's previous 040 status page. Here it is:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/CoreTorR...
Note that this time I'm using two different keywords: 041-must and 041-should. The difference here is that 041 stuff should be things that would really block a release candidate, whereas 041-should stuff is stuff that we might in theory release without fixing. (It might annoy our users or violate our best practices, so we _should_ try to fix it, at least.)
At the bottom of the page are all the tickets in the milestone that are *not* marked 041-must or 041-should. Some of these are things we could still fix anyway in 041; many will be removed. Let's triage these together!
As discussed at the last meeting, we are currently in feature freeze for 0.4.1. Other than tickets that are marked "postfreeze-ok", we're planning not to take any more features in Tor 0.4.1. (Network team folks, please remember to spend your time on 041-must and 041-should tickets, and on Sponsor 19 tickets. If we make enough progress on these, we can open up 0.4.2 for merging early.)
happy hacking,

Update: I have removed all the tickets that were not 041-should or 041-must from the 0.4.1.x-final milestone. Before doing this, I gave them all the keyword "041-deferred-20190530" so that everybody can look them over and see if I messed up. Some of them are now in 0.4.2.x-final and some in "Tor: upspecified".
We are now down to 4 "041-must" tickets, 1 of them merge-ready. We still have 31 "041-should" tickets, 3 of them merge-ready.
cheers,
