Semver Minor Tracking

[MylesBorins]

We have a month with 5 Tuesdays, this means we can do a Semver Minor release!!!

I'm thinking it makes sense for both 6.x and 8.x.

Will follow up with a list of potential commits soon (unless someone else wants to do it first :D)

[MylesBorins]

@nodejs/lts quick ping, do people have time to meet and discuss this at all next week?

Next week SGTM

I've created two gists
node v6.x semver minors
node v8.x semver minors

I'm quite sick and may not have the ability to review this in a timely fashion

@nodejs/release @nodejs/lts @nodejs/collaborators @nodejs/tsc would people be able to review these lists and please request the semver minor commits you would like to see on the next LTS release on v6.x and v8.x

[TimothyGu]

Let me know what I need to do to get nodejs/node#17365 into v6.x, or if it is already ready to be applied.

[mcollina]

I would like to have:

nodejs/node@c5c4a534d1
nodejs/node@4b0c8759d3
nodejs/node@edb9846884

backported.

Another quick ping to @nodejs/collaborators to review these lists. I really would appreciate any work y'all can do.

I would like to see nodejs/node@8d90db5120 and the async_hooks commits land in v8.x

[AndreasMadsen]

@evanlucas Indeed, I tried adding lts-watch-v8.x to all the async_hooks changes.

[MylesBorins]

@AndreasMadsen would you be able to do a batch backport?

[AndreasMadsen]

@MylesBorins I can definitely try.

[MylesBorins]

@AndreasMadsen for async_hooks were you talking about 8.x or 6.x?

[MylesBorins]

@mcollina here is a list of streams based commits to review (will be updated)

• stream: add final method node#12828 needs backport
• stream: support Uint8Array input to methods node#11608 needs backport
• stream: support readable/writableHighWaterMark for Duplex streams node#14636 lands cleanly
• net: return this from destroy() node#13530

[MylesBorins]

We would like to land nodejs/node#13467 but it requires manual backport of the documentation. Would someone be interested in taking that on?
