Only Paul and Aristotle this time.
We had a small amount of helpful feedback on the named signature parameters PR. Paul wants to merge by the end of the week for the purposes of inviting more feedback, assuming no issues are raised in the meantime.

All three of us attended.
- We touched on the recent discussion about the classification of modules included with the perl distribution. We agreed that the PSC and p5p need to do a better job of tracking which modules have active maintainers and who they are. Something like a dashboard would be useful for this, and we identified as a starting point that it would be good to have an up-to-date overview of dists, their maintainers, and whether they are active. Maintainers.pl probably already covers the list of dists but it would be useful to split the data out into a separate file so it could be used in other scripts, which could also populate records with additional data, outside of what Maintainers.pl needs, for their own purposes. For example a tool for querying PAUSE for the maintainers of dual-life dists and flagging deviations could check a custom field where known deviations (along with a comment) would be recorded, so as to not flag them.
- We had a somewhat surface-level discussion about the future of stdio in Perl. Leon has been thinking about this and intends to write a separate mail to p5p about it.
