Now just a few are remaining:

- Suppress compiler warnings from GDAL #2899, nilason
- t.register: support mapset name in input file #2863, ninsbl
- g.extension: fix getting addons path if input JSON file doesn't
exist #2717, tmszi
- i.vi: support soil_line_slope for PVI #2561, pesekon2
- libproj: simple check for area of use #2519, metzm
- temporal dbif for current mapset only #2448, metzm
- g.extension: better handle request exceptions for l flag #2203, tmszi

May I bump all of them to the next milestone?
Could even be 8.3.1 (https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/milestone/21).

Importantly, we need to branch 8.3 first.
