Notes:

• Some recent issues are still missing, I will add them as soon as I have the time
• The "suggestions" section is probably the biggest one. To prioritize the rest, I closed it by default
• I may have exceeded the scope of tasks to be done, but obviously, it's up to the team to decide which ones are of priority at the moment
