[wtp-pmc] end game proposal

["Tim Wagner" <twagner@xxxxxxx>]

A strawman proposal for the WTP end game; we can discuss during the call.

 

Post M5:

• All API changes require project lead approval
• All changes require associated Bugzilla entry
• PMC will review defect convergence on a weekly basis (daily as needed during final RC candidate production)

 

Week of July 3:

• RC1 produced
• Any defect can be addressed
• Component lead must code review and approve all fixes (enter into Bugzilla record and checkin notes)

 

Week of July 10:

• RC2 produced
• P1/2 only can be addressed
• All checkins must have Bugzilla entry
• Component lead must code review and approve

 

Week of July 17:

• RC3 produced
• P1 only can be addressed
• Project lead (or designate) must approve; component lead must code review (enter both names into Bugzilla record and checkin notes)

 

Week of July 24:

• RC’s produced as needed
• P1 only can be addressed
• PMC approval required for checkin, plus two component leads must code review (enter all three names into Bugzilla record and checkin notes)
• Each RC requires testing on all platforms

 

Final review:

• No P1’s admitted (i.e., no ship-killer defects known)
• All automated tests passing on final RC
• All shipping platforms have been tested
• All component leads sign off on individual components
• PMC votes to release
