Perl Steering Council meeting minutes December 16

Back to our usual meeting of three.

 * We continued discussing the lack of reviews for PRs, and how to try
   to encourage more reviews to happen. Or, at the very least, how to
   enable progress to continue.

   Maybe we need a bit of a defined process that splits PRs into
   different size categories, and has ways on how to review
   small/medium/big PRs. If it's a small bugfix or docs update, it
   doesn't need the same level of scrutiny as a major new feature.

   Thoughts likely to continue over the coming few weeks. The github UI
   doesn't have much by way of features to assist this so a solution
   may have to involve mostly socially-ingrained convention.

 * Paul suggested he might find time to begin implementing qt{}
   strings soon.

   This is the feature described by RFC 0019:
     https://github.com/Perl/RFCs/blob/main/rfcs/rfc0019.md

 * HTTPS support in core still needs a project manager to help
   coördinate the efforts.

   To be clear: This is a *project manager*, someone who can organise
   together the various people involved in actually technically solving
   the problem. No specific technical skill is required, beyond the
   ability to herd a group of people into one direction to solve one
   specific issue.

We won't be meeting next week due to the Christmas holidays. Next
meeting may be 30th or may be in 2023.
