Contrib Committee Review for November 2020

With the year winding down the month was a little quiet, but we still got some good contributions going.Client sponsoredThanks to our awesome clients for giving us a chance to help make open source software better for everyone.Bayo Fodeke rerolled a patch for Multiple Selects module to fix an error that can show.
Chris Runo came up with a workaround to allow the Permissions by Term module to limit it per vocabulary.
Dan Polant suggested an alternative solution for making sorts work in config entity queries and uploaded a patch to improve the UI on the Lingotek Translation module.
Mark Casias uploaded a fix for using Devel with Admin Toolbar.
Melissa Bent created a fix for a bug in the Tamper module and worked out a fix that allowed the CodeCoverage library to properly load its dependency files.
I created a patch for Baidu Push to indicate that the Language module is actually required, a patch for Guardr to add back in the project prefixes, and created a new Drupal maintenance support plans.org Links module.
Self-directedDrupal Update provides some extra time during the week for folks to scratch their own itches, and sometimes people triage issue queues instead of watching football on TV :-)Melissa provided us some examples for using nested menu items on the YAML Content module.
Stephen Lucero continued working on improvements for his Switches module.
I helped reroll and tidy up some patches for the Context module, triaged the Metatag module and Date module’s issue queues a bit, and released Search & Replace Scanner v7.x-1.1 and Panels Everywhere 8.x-4.0-beta1
