[QGIS-Developer] GRASS in QGIS

[Vaclav Petras]

Hi Harrissou and all,

I can mostly contribute to 4. I didn't carve out time to look at the PRs
until now, but I'm interested in getting this updated. Thanks for the
smaller PRs. I see Markus Neteler commenting, and I will follow up on
GitHub.

Best,
Vaclav
