As with last month’s review, this focuses only on merged PRs. Any change sent directly to master will not be seen. And again, this is merged PRs, so upcoming changes are not relevant yet.
Note that all the PRs listed here are arbitrarily chosen by entirely ill-defined biases. If you don’t see PRs you found interesting, or even, your PR, please share it with us!
Overview

Of the 1246 targeting master or staging, 123 are new packages , and 1003 are package updates.
Special mention: 110 automated PRs part of #79975 by @bhipple.

Disclaimer: 3 PRs got caught in an incident that made them lose their original title, this affects some of the stats.
Finally, saying it again, I have some homework for you: I want you all to tell me what caught your interest in February! Reminder: what was merged in February!
Note: as a courtesy, you may want to use the official GitHub link shortener so the PRs are not swamped with useless Discourse messages.
