[Matthias Kuhn]

Hi

The green lamp is going again!

Thanks a lot to everybody committing documentation updates, fixing tests
and providing inputs for the failing QgsAppStartup test.

I just disabled part of this test to have the CI running again. It's a
rather hard-to-debug test since it runs in a subprocess. But this test
prevented me once from breaking the python initialization code, so it
would be good to be able to re-enable it.
