tjr
 - Not much. Was out 3 days recently.
 - Organized Letterboxing bugs:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=1407366&hide_resolved=0

   - There is a letterboxing bypass (1556016) that I don't *think* is
exploitable in the default configuration, mostly due to luck
 - The mingwclang x86 malloc/free mismatch had some work done by
glandium. I need to test if it fixed it
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1547519
 - Organized RDD tasks -
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1553720
   - Landed a patch disabling RDD and AV1 due to undiagnosed failures.
This will have to be fixed by ESR 76 but hopefully much sooner.
