Thanks for the quick suggestion. I have now created a new patch - https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/959683 The older one will be abandoned.

AFAIK it's not possible for the Core-Reviewers group to remove WIP from the patch as of today. So I'd guess the best second alternative, if patch I think it's only patch owner (or possible Gerrit Admins) who can remove WIP status. AFAIK it's not possible for the Core-Reviewers group to remove WIP from the patch as of today. So I'd guess the best second alternative, if patch owner is not responding, is to create another patch with similar content, and add the `Co-Authored-By` tag to it, to give credit to the Author. Then the Core Reviewers group can Abandon original patch in favor of the new one. пт, 5 сент. 2025 г. в 09:17, Nimesh Desai <Nimesh.Desai@ibm.com<mailto:Nimesh.Desai@ibm.com>>: After the resolving the merge conflict, the following IBM Cinder driver patch is now in ‘Work in Progress’ state. We want to now make it Active, but the owner of the patch is no longer working with the organisation. Thus, the Gerrit UI is not showing option to publish. How to make this patch Active again? The patch was reviewed and had multiple +1 votes earlier. Patch: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/879839<https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/879839 >
