Hello Stackers,
The release team has proposed patches to all projects to transition Yoga to Unmaintained status: https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:%22yoga-unmaintained%22 These patches tag stable/yoga with 'yoga-eom' and create the unmaintained/yoga branch.
Here is the key takeaway from this email:
PLEASE DO NOT MERGE ANYTHING INTO stable/yoga in the short period after it's been tagged yoga-eom and before the stable/yoga branch is deleted.
Other to-dos/info:
Abandon any open reviews on stable/yoga immediately. (The release team called for final yoga releases back in November 2023 [0].). Feel free to leave a note that abandoned patches can be re-proposed to unmaintained/yoga if the proposer is still interested. This will speed up the branch deletion process. Otherwise, the release team will have to abandon reviews before stable/yoga can be deleted, which obviously will dump more work on the release team that they'll have to squeeze in around all their normal activities.
The stable/yoga branches will be deleted by the release team.
The global openstack-unmaintained-core team will, by default, handle maintenance of unmaintained/yoga branches (both CI and merging patches). If your project wants to have its own <project>-unmaintained-core team, it's allowed, but you have to create it yourself. For an example, see https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/project-config/+/902796
More information about Unmaintained branches is contained in this patch to the project-team-guide: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/project-team-guide/+/897505 (Given that this is the first time we're doing the transition-to-Unmaintained process, it would be helpful for all interested people to look at the above patch and leave comments and/or requests for clarifications.)
Thanks for your attention to this email!
