Hi All,
Time to begin looking forward to the NumPy 1.16.x branch. I think
there are three main topics to address:
1. current PRs that need review and merging,
2. critical fixes that need to be made,
3. status of `__array_function__`.
The last probably needs some discussion. `__array_fuction__` seems to
be working at this point, but does cause noticeable slowdowns in some
function calls. I don't know if those slowdowns are significant in
practice, the only way to discover that may be to make the release, or
at least thorough testing of the release candidates, but we should at
least discuss them and possible workarounds if needed. Trying to have
things in good shape is important because 1.16.x will be the last
release that supports Python 2.7, and even though we will be
maintaining it for the next year, that will be easier if it is stable.
As to the first two topics, I think we should try to be conservative
at this point and look mostly for bug fixes and documentation updates.
Thoughts?

Beyond things with the 1.16 milestone, it would be nice to address the
structured array cleanup
https://gist.github.com/ahaldane/6cd44886efb449f9c8d5ea012747323b and to
get the matmul-as-ufunc https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/12219 merged
