MartinR
* at some point not too far in the distance I think it would be good
to check with Distributions if there's an interest in 5.24 being an
LTS version. I think Kubuntu and openSuse voiced some interest.
openSuse latest "Leap" release is still on 5.18, though a much newer
Plasma was already out at that time, so they might want an LTS version
for Leap

Notifications:

    Stat and fetch jobs are now "transient" and don't show up in history anymore
        e.g. "loading archive"
    Support notification-icons hint, pending spec discussion, cf.

    especially the KFilePlacesView one, not really Plasma, but still
massive and useful… removes 4000 loc

Fvogt
* I'm currently looking at some kcm_keyboard bugs
* The kconfigxt port caused some regressions, and there are some bugs on top
* https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/757

Marco
* not much, but I've finally merged the first little stage of
multiscreen refactor for plasmashell that even if still not perfect,
should make less easy to "lose" panels or desktops when fiddling with
multiscreen
