Backlog for Express 6.x

[UlisesGascon]

This issue includes a reference to all the PRs/issues or pending tasks for Express and dependencies needed to finally ship new versions of Express@6.x

Rules (WIP):

• If something is completed, just marked
• If there is a PR/Issue/Discussion please add it (try to use one item)
• If there is someone taking ownership on it, please add it. Ownership means to be the focal point for it not necessarily the person who makes the final change.
• If there is no leader, feel free to claim it.
• If you can no longer lead something, just let others claim it back
• As this issue can have many comments, feel free to address them and then mark the original comment as "outdated" (details) so it is easier to follow.

If you think that any reference is missing, please edit this comment (@expressjs/express-tc) or reply with a comment if you don't have the permissions.
