If you were unable to attend, please read the log and give your feedback.

We haven't released 2.22rc1 and 2.20.1 yet. mkanat, our Release Manager, would really appreciate having an Assistant Release Manager.
Debian is going to keep patching 2.16 in their packages, but 2.16.11 will probably be our last official release.
We need more reviewers. If you'd like to be a Bugzilla reviewer, a good way to start is to find some really old review requests and do an informal review on them.
We need help triaging old review requests. Some reviewers are not active anymore. The reviewer list has been updated accordingly.
We could use a reviewer with LDAP experience who'd like to review a few patches. They can be informal reviews; just test the code and look it over for sanity. An official reviewer can do everything else.
We would like to have somebody be in charge of recruiting and welcoming new developers. Somebody who could make life as easy as possible for new Bugzilla developers and reviewers.
We need to organize a docs team again.
We could use some tests for correct SQL.
Performance issues are high priority for 3.0. As we've known for a long time, the two big performance issues are mod_perl and making BugMail faster in process_bug.cgi. mod_perl comes first, as our highest priority for 3.0. We also need a ->new_from_list() method for Product.pm and friends.
summarize_time.cgi could use some improvements, but nobody in particular stepped up to maintain it.
For the most part, we aren't going to remove any backwards-compatibility code for Bugzilla 3.0.
