+ Moritz Duge
+ reviewers were positive about them (Stephan)
AI: enable the commit bit (Cloph)
AI: send the welcome mail (Stephan)

* Jenkins / CI update (Cloph)
+ Proposing clang upgrade for CI and build baseline (Hossein)
+ Suggestion: 18, which is widely used (or 19, which is the current stable)
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2025-February/093021.html
+ CI currently uses clang-12.0.1 on linux (via lode)
+ old macs/XCode 14.2 has Apple clang version 14.0.0
+ current macs/XCode have Apple clang version 16.0.0
+ is meant to be mostly available in distros in general
+ Noel thought we don't have a clang baseline (Ilmari)
+ We require clang for skia/pdfium (Michael W)
+ Think we should require something older for the "gcc + clang" case (Michael S)
+ this is not the clang plugin case
+ this is skia/pdfium
+ Android also uses clang (Skyler)
+ so probably requires an NDK bump as well
+ NDK 27 -> clang 18
+ would be fine with patches pending in Gerrit (Michael W)
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/181851
+ think macOS is independent here (Ilmari)
+ has some own numbering anyway
+ VS 2022 would be clang 19, think (Cloph)
+ think the macOS baseline should be specified as xcode version (Stephan)
+ and see what features are available
+ fine with clang 18 as a baseline for the plugins (Stephan)
+ lode clang is still 12 for plugins / sanitizers
AI: bump the clang in lode to 18 (Hossein)
+ or ask help from Stephan in 2 weeks
+ e.g. c++20 ranges baseline bottleneck is currently Linux (Hossein)
