coordinate an ad hoc meeting if needed]

GeKo:
    Last Week:
        - Helped with the 8.0a9 release and monitored potential fallout
        - Got back to look at where we are wrt mobile work
        - Prepared meeting with Cliqz folks and did a talk in Munich and
coordinated with them
        - worked on #26475 (ESR60-based .dmg images are not built
reproducibly with Stylo enabled using rustc > 1.25.0)
        - more network code audit
    This Week:
        - review catch-up
        - begin of the month admin stuff
        - more work on #26475
        - I'll be on vacation from July 8-July 16

tjr (most likely missing meeting)
 - Most likely outcome of Jacek's work is a mingw-clang build in the
esr60 tree with --disable-stylo
   - I should get the mingw jobs actually merged into the esr60 branch
this month
 - Unsure if he will be able to work on --enable-stylo [GeKo: If not,
ping me and I'll put it back on my plate]
    - Once --enable-stylo is working we can get mingw-clang into
-central again
 - the mingw-clang sandbox also crashes for an unknown reason :(
