It's possible that this won't work very well as a community goal. This migration took the keystone team about two cycles to implement, not including all the planning and foundational work that needed to happen first. In our virtual PTG meeting today we discussed the possibility of instead forming a pop-up team around this work so that a group of individuals (across several teams, not just the keystone team) could target the largest projects and make more of a dent in the work over a couple of cycles before using the community goal model to close the gaps in the smaller or more peripheral projects. However, we will still need to get buy-in from the projects so that we can be sure that the work the pop-up team does gets prioritized and reviewed.

I've drafted a set of steps that we'd expect projects to follow to get this done:

And we're holding a forum session on it next week:
