The patch change the deadline in the election repo is modifying a file that currently defines the TC election schedule, so it's a bit confusing about why that file is being changed. I'm not an expert in the tools, but from what I understand that same setting in that file is used for both elections, but only one election can be listed at a time. Since the TC election comes first, the other dates in that file are about the TC election, and the file contents will be changed when the PTL election starts. [...]
To clarify further the reason in this case is that, due to release and conference scheduling constraints placing the TC and PTL elections nearly adjacent, we'll be using one tag on the governance repository to identify the state of our official project list in determining the electorate rolls for both elections. -- Jeremy Stanley
