Summary

Background in our discussion thread

Hi there! Welcome to the Reviewers & Editors curated issue list! In this list you'll find a bunch of open and closed issues that haven't been actioned for a long time, but we think are a great piece of work for somebody to take the community forward! Please feel free to browse and see if any take your interest, and then either a) re-open the issue and assign yourself, b) start a new issue referencing the closed issue with #<ISSUE_NUMBER>, or c) comment on the open issue to let the community know you're taking it on

We've split them by category to make browsing that little bit easier 😸
