RFC status update

20 minutes (starting 21:10 UTC)

Spend roughly 20 minutes ensuring Architecture committee/Status is up-to-date. Checklist of the questions we should answer:

Who is chairing the upcoming IRC meeting? T128351. Rob will chair
Conclude last week's "final comment period"? Do we have anything that should enter "final comment"?
For each upcoming meeting, do we anticipate the RFC moving into "final comment"? Field narrowing
Picking an RFC for next week:
- How does ArchCom-RfCs board look?
  - Where should anything in the inbox go?
- What is the most important thing each ArchCom member is shepherding? Anything blocked?
