Hi all, I would like to propose and put myself forward as the release manager for the 4.17.1.0 release. My colleague Nicolas Vazquez will support me as the co-RM for the PR reviews/tests/merges, and others are welcome to support as well. We can keep the scope limited to include only bugs, critical issues and fixes for a stable release. I see about 89 closed issues/PRs already on the 4.17.1.0 milestone[1] and some 24 items are remaining.
I propose the following timeline, aiming to cut the first RC around the end of August. - ~3 weeks from now till late August 2022 (Ongoing): Accept all bugs, issues and minor improvements allowed in LTS [2] - 1 week: Accept only critical/blocker fixes, stabilize 4.17 branch - end-August 2022 and onwards: Cut 4.17.1.0 RC1 and further RCs if necessary, start/conclude vote, and finish release work Please let me know if you have any thoughts/comments.
