CF 2022-11: entries "Ready for Committer" with recent activity

Hi

This is an overview of the current patches marked "Ready for Committer"
which have been actively worked on during the current CF.

They largely fall into two categories:
- active participation from likely committers
- have been reviewed and marked as "RfC", but need committer interest

Dates in parentheses represent the last mail on the relevant thread.

the thread to do it.
