Notes
Sinked a lot of time on reviewing a big change which is important and terribly lacks reviewers. So it was still worth it. That's the kind of gaps that I intend to fill with my work to prevent important work from stalling.
12 days off this month mostly to handle personal obligations.

V2 of Bug 24353 - [19.05] privacy_guarantor_checkouts incorrectly shows No on moremember.pl
A lot of time on Bug 20271 - Merge deleted biblio, biblioitems, biblio_metadata, and items tables
- Found issues with V2: one test is failing. The old failing ones are ok.
- Search for eventual new warnings in the tests suite
- Question about eventual followup to hide clutter in test logs
- Search for eventually forgotten things like usage or mentions of the old tables
- Read the whole combined diff of the dozen of patches
- Try a test case with ElasticSearch
