Jeremy Rand:
    Week of 29 June (planned):
        Look more seriously at what's needed to port the Namecoin

        Continue talking to NLnet about funding things.
        Issue a formal statement from Namecoin about the OTF situation
(hopefully it helps).
        Hopefully get my GitLab account sorted out.
    Week of 29 June (actual):
        Look more seriously at what's needed to port the Namecoin
support to macOS/Windows.  (WIP)
        Upstream Electrum released 4.0.1.  (4.0.0 was skipped for
unknown reasons.)
        Merge some upstream code from Electrum 4.0.1.
        Various NLnet coordination.
        Finish writing OTF statement for Namecoin (not published yet).
        I can now login to GitLab (though email notifications don't work
yet here...)
    Week of 6 July (planned):
        File some GitLab issues about Namecoin support in macOS/Windows.
        Work on getting Electrum-NMC 4.0.1 ready.
        Work on upstreaming Electrum-NMC patches.
        More NLnet coordination.
        Publish OTF statement on Namecoin.org.
        Maybe figure out why email notifications aren't working for me
from GitLab. <-- notifications were disabled before, they do not work
for a specific project for you? --gaba  (Hmm, maybe something was fixed
without me noticing, will try again.  -Jeremy)
