Porters,

This week we discussed the following topics:

* Release process needs better docs, maybe some more automation.
* "inward goto" has been deprecated since 5.12. We have set an end date
for it and will announce in 5.40 that we'll remove it in 5.42.
* Our call for a project manager to get SSL into core has not gone
unheeded. We're happy to accept Nicolas Mendoza to the role.
* We need to review our notes about keeping multiple CPAN indexes from
PTS in Lyon and publish them for all to see

++. IMO we could do with lots more automation. There are waay too many
places where a releaser can screw up.

I am more than happy to wrangle GitHub actions into doing the right things
once the process is well documented

that functionality may be needed for implementation of `yield` (generators
/ iterators generally)

What is this feature? I cannot find it in any pod using that name.

Perhaps https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/16275 will give some context?

Apparently it's a goto that jumps into a loop.
