Great, thanks!

There will be two.

For now, it's still open, but addressing IPv6 support. We should limit
the scope soon, according to open related tickets that could be feasible
to work on.

At least, choose a couple of easy-tagged IPv6 tickets, and close them.
However, it's difficult to state on this right now.

Maybe something from:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/query?status=accepted&status=assigned&status=merge_ready&status=needs_information&status=needs_review&status=needs_revision&status=new&status=reopened&keywords=~ipv6+easy&max=20&col=id&col=summary&col=status&col=owner&col=priority&col=component&col=severity&col=time&col=changetime&col=reporter&desc=1&order=changetime

Good to know about this!
