### nodejs/node

* sqlite: mark as release candidate [#61262](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/61262)
- Rafael: node-sqlite3 was recently deprecated. It's the time for us to mark it as "stable".
- Matteo: The question for us if the async version of the API would impact the design of the sync version.
- Robert: async APIs are useful for slow disks
- Joyee: the "release candidate" status allow for limited breaking change, but people are already using it in the ecosystem so it's already a bit late for changes.
- Matteo: parked until next week with [@louwers](https://github.com/louwers) that [objected](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/61262#pullrequestreview-3626427503).

### nodejs/admin

* Only allow secure two-factor methods [#1005](https://github.com/nodejs/admin/issues/1005)
