YP 4.3 M2 has been through QA with one issue found (bug 15170) and is being reviewed by the TSC
YP 3.1.27 is in QA
Toolchain tests have continued to improve with rust tests added and 3,344,888

tests now being run with failures reduced to 8,373 (down from 210,000).

Issues in the LTP test parsing were identified and fixing this should improve the reliability of test reports.
The regression report for M2 is definitely improved on previous versions with the important data becoming clearer:

We’re considering switching to a pre-release version of autoconf due to improvements in largefile/64 bit time support.
The project RFQ deadline has now passed, thanks to everyone who submitted. The project aims to process the responses and respond in the next couple of weeks.

Ways to contribute:

As people are likely aware, the project has a number of components which are either unmaintained, or have people with little to no time trying to keep them alive. These components include: patchtest, layerindex, devtool, toaster, wic, oeqa, autobuilder, CROPs containers, pseudo and more. Many have open bugs. Help is welcome in trying to better look after these components!
There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 4.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.3_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
We’d welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. Please see the list at: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and discuss with the existing maintainer, or ask on the OE-Core mailing list. We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.
Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder intermittent issues. You can see the list of failures we’re continuing to see by searching for the “AB-INT” tag in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT.
