Great. I believe most (all?) of them are related to a bug in one of the Microsoft platforms (NuGet, dotnet, MSBuild) that Sean has already opened. He'd know the details.
We'll probably need to triage all v4 issues but here's a quick grab bag that are should be able to be fixed independently:
* https://github.com/wixtoolset/issues/issues/4726
* https://github.com/wixtoolset/issues/issues/4770
* https://github.com/wixtoolset/issues/issues/5189 - this one could be more challenging
* https://github.com/wixtoolset/issues/issues/5255 - this is a decent sized feature and would need some design discussion
* https://github.com/wixtoolset/issues/issues/5256
* https://github.com/wixtoolset/issues/issues/5296
* https://github.com/wixtoolset/issues/issues/5330
* https://github.com/wixtoolset/issues/issues/5371 - good one if you want to learn how to work all parts of a wixext and custom action
* https://github.com/wixtoolset/issues/issues/5651 - might already be fixed and just needs a unit test added to validate
* https://github.com/wixtoolset/issues/issues/5880
Leave a comment on any issue(s) that you want to tackle and we'll know you're on it.

Yes, Bob's list is shorter than Rob's. There are two entries that I have removed from Bob's list because they are not included in the Community Ediition of VS 2019:
* Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.CodeMap
* Microsoft.VisualStudio.ComponentGroup.ArchitectureTools.Native
I see some warnings flashing by while build.cmd is running. They are not being treated as errors and they are not counted in the last error and warning count displayed. Someone should verify that they are not consequential.
I'm ready to fix some bugs. Is there a priority list? I'll check the Issues board. It's past midnight here. I'll continue tomorrow.
Thanks for everyone's help!
