* l10n (Sophie)
   + Sophie was missed.
   + Switching to weblate when 6.3 is done (Cloph)

* Bump LO 6.4 Java baseline from Java 6 to 8? (Stephan)
   + Only bumped from Java 5 to 6 for LO 6.3.
   + But Java 12 is becoming ever more popular, with min target 7 (e.g.,
     <https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/76188/> "Bump Java source and target
     version to 1.7")
   + Jumping directly to Java 8 sounds reasonable
     (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_version_history>).
   + Java 8 is from 2014
       + should be no reason to hold back
   + is it necessary to do some work than adjusting the versions? (Miklos)
       + just version + limitation for the JVM that we detect on the machine
   => do it (Stephan)
