Hi all, I’ll be the release manager for the 4.2.2 bug fix release.
Here's the 4.2.2 release plan < https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/spaces/KAFKA/pages/451971202/Release+Plan+4.2.2 >. The code freeze date will be on Tuesday 15 September 2026 (I kept it 2 weeks from now as there is only 1 outstanding issue currently to be resolved and 4.3.2 release to follow shortly as well). The first release candidate will follow shortly after that. Please let me know if you have any concerns about the schedule. Regards, Apoorv Mittal
