I'll contact Thiago to see if he can take charge of that part.

OK - I will move this issue to the "optional section".

OK - at this point, we're defering the branch creation. Pedro also
expressed the opinion that we should fix the blocking issues first.

I'd like us to be a little bit proactive at fixing the last few
issues, so as to take avantage of my availability in June. July
and August are going to be crazy for me. So what I'll do is ask
for help from some people who are willing to be a point of contact
for given issues, and responsible for getting the issue fixed asap.
I'll help with review as well as nudging if needed :-).
