Please consider renaming the default branch for existing Raku-related repositories from master to main.

FWIW, I think the plan is to have the RakuAST branch become "main" at some point for rakudo/rakudo.

But generally the problem is really the number of outstanding PRs that would get invalidated by the default branch change, no?

I think GitHub automatically fixes those.

They do? That would be excellent. It was my impression that they didn't, so a reason not to just move forward on this.
