[Tracking] Additional semver minor to 8.x during maintenance

[MylesBorins]

There are a couple different features that we might want to ship before 8.x goes EOL

• tsfn support for n-api
• various crypto features (/cc @tniessen)
• namespaces

As such I think it does make sense for us to do one more Semver-Minor relase of the 8.x release line.

Thoughts?

@MylesBorins I assume you mean 8.x in your original post as opposed to 10.x.

[MylesBorins]

@mhdawson fixed, thanks

I'd like to get nodejs/node#25447 in if we do another 8.x release as it fixes a regression introduced in 8.11.2. Let me know if it needs a manual backport.

[MylesBorins]

@richardlau can you please backport?

[richardlau]

@richardlau can you please backport?

Done! nodejs/node#25521

[mhdawson]

@MylesBorins what timing are you thinking for the release. Just want to make sure we sync with @gabrielschulhof to see if there is any chance it can also include the PR to make tsfn non-experiemental as wel as opposed that coming later.

[MylesBorins]

I'm not in a rush tbqh, maybe end of feb / march

[MylesBorins]

Removing label as we had consensus to do this release.

We should keep this open for tracking
