Transpiler Hackathon

[jwoehr]

Description

• As of this writing 2022-01-29 there are 127 open Transpiler issues in the Qiskit Terra repository.
• As many participants who have the skills and the will can participate in closing Transpiler issues for the duration of the QAMP Spring 2022 event.
• If there is time and energy left over, we will look at future directions for the Transpiler.
• My intent long-term is to identify a team of Transpiler-aware Qiskit participants to take the Transpiler in a new direction in future events as noted in the qiskit-community Transpiler! discussion

Deliverables

Close as many Transpiler issues as possible.
