These are the open bugs, at the time of writing, that I think we need to
either fix or decide not to fix before we can prepare a release
candidate.

- The problem with icalendar tests failing in certain timezones:
  <https://https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2026-07/msg00445.html>

I used
<https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?bug-rev=on;ordering=oldview;package=emacs>
to prepare this.

I ignored anything that is reproducible in Emacs 30 and not serious.
I focused on things that are about new features added or significantly
modified in Emacs 31, and started from the date of the feature freeze,
both at Eli's suggestion.
