public meeting discussion

numba#9222 - Invalid closure handling in _create_function_from_code_obj
numba#9224 - numba Generator.uniform() doesn't work with array-like inputs
- Duplicate of https://github.com/numba/numba/issues/8519
- Is a nice to have
numba#9229 - cuda.grid(1) returns incorrect value due to signed integer overflow
- likely a regression from a long time ago
- also it's an unlikely overflow case given users should use loop-stride.
- target numba 0.59
numba#9231 - GitHub Actions: fix towncrier workflow to re-run on adding skip label
- Something for a rainy day
numba#9232 - AArch64 OrcJIT segfault
- Can be migrated to llvmlite
numba#9233 - print failed in parallel=True, cache=True
- Siu managed to reproduce
- probably a parfors bug
numba#9234 - Typos in Numba Documentation
- A few typos at a time
- Not worth the effort to add an action

numba#9223 - CUDA: Add support for compiling device functions with C ABI
numba#9226 - Update randomimpl.py to allow floating arguments to negative_binomial
numba#9227 - Support NumPy 1.26 (PR aimed at review / merge)
numba#9228 - Fix #9222 - Don't replace . with _ in func arg names in inline closures
numba#9230 - allow using IntEnumMember as array index
- Doed need a release notes snippet
