The igc branch may be ready in time for Emacs 31, but even that is not sure at this time; it certainly won't be in Emacs 30. IMO, it's too early to talk about what will be in Emacs 31. Even if you want to describe a small number of major new features, there's not yet enough stuff in NEWS for that. Better support for DND on Windows and color fonts on MS-Windows is probably good news for users of Windows, but that's Windows-only news. If the subject is interesting future developments in Emacs, then igc is by far the most interesting one. But I don't have any suggestions for any others. For Emacs 30, just go by Antinews in the two manuals: they are supposed to mention the more important changes. HTH, and thanks in advance.
