I estimate will require about 1 to maximum 2 more week to get it into a mergeable state, which will still leave us with 4-5 weeks of bugfixing time for this code. One part of it is, it will revisit some of the geometry checker code which is corrected for threading and other issues, so that can already be seen as "bugfixing of existing code" that will land as part of it.

I would also like to pre-emptively apply for a freeze exemption for
the work detailed in
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/issues/114 and
currently the target of the crowd funding campaign at
https://north-road.com/edit-features-in-place-using-qgis-spatial-operations-campaign/

The fund raising is proceeding nicely and I believe this work will be
successfully funded, and I'd love to get it in for 3.4. I'd estimate
1-2 weeks post freeze for merge.
