Yes, that's what I think too is sensible now.

Yes, I would say, just go ahead with the topics you like to do first, and
me too. We'll certainly get things to discuss on the way.

I think it's better to progress topic by topic, providing test cases and
doing the API discussions as we go. If one person does the whole merge,
there's too much to discuss at once.
