Upcoming 0.53RC1 : do you have any open PRs that you would like us to consider as 'urgent'? Please make yourselves known.

Discussion topics:

Generic jitclass:
- There's a need for NumPy supporting annotations
- PEP 646 https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0646/, variadic generics
- PEP 593 https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0593/, Flexible function and variable annotations

#6646 - np.cross gives error
- actually a py3.9 problem
- UnsupportedOPCode is eaten by TypingError
#6645 - Retrieve The Oldest and Newest Supported CUDA Versions
- Will sort out for 0.53
#6644 - typed.List segfault, maybe from empty list.
- Obvious missing reference somewhere!
#6643 - Provide a Method to Override Hardcoded 'reloc_model'
- Hmmm
#6641 - Error Using Typed List in Function Signatures
- Catch users supplying things which are not subclasses of numba.types.Type
#6640 - Nested dict-of-jitclass throws pickling error
- May need some more debugging
#6638 - Numba error
#6633 - list not cast to numpy ndarray
- Try and catch non-array or scalar as invalid input to vectorize.
#6632 - Support alternative spellings of dtypes in dtype kwarg of numpy array constructors
- easy to fix
#6631 - Numpy does not support Enum / IntEnum
