Do you think it makes sense to add an item for an initial slatepack discussion considering the timeline?

[lehnberg]

Sure, agenda updated. 👍

I think there is way too much open pull requests and issues that have been hanging for far too long on the grin repo.
For the PRs:
Most of the PR are fine but needs review. I propose that we "distribute" the pull requests to reviewers like we did a few months ago,
For the issues:
I did a pass yesterday but I believe a lot of them could be closed like:

Title	Opened On	Link
Study support of vaults in grin/mimblewimble	02/07/17	mimblewimble/grin#71
Investigate UTXO Obsolescence	09/03/18	mimblewimble/grin#763
NAT Traversal Support	28/04/18	mimblewimble/grin#1205
Bittorrent support for txhashset download	09/04/19	mimblewimble/grin#2740
I2P Support Meta-issue	26/03/19	mimblewimble/grin#2712
Fence off txhashset validation in its own process	09/04/19	mimblewimble/grin#2741
Add TLS to p2p connections	25/08/18	mimblewimble/grin#1420

This is just a few examples (taking too long to make this table...).

I don't think we should target a 0 issues and 0 prs but I do believe we should do some kind of spring cleanup.

Also release grin and grin-wallet 3.1.1 to crates.io.

Updated agenda with these points 👍
