It came up multiple times at recent events that it would be very helpful for people significantly working on Drupal 8 critical issues to get together more often to talk about the issues and unblock each other on things where discussion is needed. While these do not by any means replace the issue queue discussions (much like in-person meetings at events are not), they do help to unblock things much more quickly. We also don't believe that the number of or the concrete people working on critical issues should be limited, so we did not want to keep the discussions closed. After our second meeting last week, here is the recording of the third meeting from today in the hope that it helps more than just those who were on the meeting:
Unfortunately not all people invited made it this time. If you also have significant time to work on critical issues in Drupal 8 and we did not include you, let me know as soon as possible.
The issues mentioned were as follows:

Nat: it would be good to have your feedback on the proposed solution the translation revisions issue aside from its criticality (see https://www.drupal.org/node/2453153#comment-9991563 and following)

Node::isPublished() and Node:getOwnerId() are expensive: https://www.drupal.org/node/2498919
And User:getAnonymousUser() takes 13ms due to ContentEntityBase::setDefaultLangcode() (https://www.drupal.org/node/2504849) is similar.
