[Feb/March] Issue / Bug Reduction Drive

[mmcky]

We are planning to focus on issue and bug reduction during February ( after the merge of myst-parser and myst-nb updates), along with some review of developer documentation etc. This issue is a place for priority triage that we can all edit and comment on. It would be great if this top level comment cell remains the list of issues for focus on.
