Folks, In order to reduce the number of steps required and also have some sort of control on the commit process, I am proposing the following:
1. I am going to monitor all issues marked as blockers on a nightly basis. The list on the wiki is going to go away once I triage it for things like exceptions, failures etc. and feature requests that were already accepted. 2. If a developer feels that an issue marked as blocker is not really one, we can chat on the jira. Alternatively, please set the priority to blocker if you want a jira to be fixed in 0.14 so that I can check on it and decide the priority. If I think it is not a blocker, I will lower the priority after discussing on the jira. 3. Jira is going to be a single source of truth. 4. Once the blocker list goes to 0, I am going to create an RC. 5. Patches for blocker jiras are going to need to be double committed to both trunk and 0.14 by the one committing the jira. I hope this will stream line this process without adding overhead of email etc. I think this is the easier than having new tags or overloading other fields in the jira. Thanks Vikram.
