2023-11-14 openstack-unmaintained-core Gerrit Group¶

Amendment¶

The resolution 2023-07-24 Unmaintained status replaces Extended Maintenance contains the following text in the “Unmaintained branches” section:

A group in Gerrit called “<project>-unmaintained-core”, for example, “keystone-unmaintained-core”, will have +2/+W on these branches. This group may be bootstrapped with or include the “<project>-stable-maint” group, but membership is separate from that group.

The above point is hereby replaced by the following two points:

A group in Gerrit called “openstack-unmaintained-core” will by default have +2/+W on these branches for all projects. This group will be self-managed and will be owned by the OpenStack Technical Committee. The Technical Committee will only have the ability to maintain group membership; TC members will not be members of openstack-unmaintained-core through their membership in the TC.
Each individual project team has the option to create a group in Gerrit called “<project>-unmaintained-core”, for example, “keystone-unmaintained-core”, that has +2/+W solely on that project’s “unmaintained/*” branches. This group may be bootstrapped with or include the “<project>-stable-maint” group, but membership is separate from that group. Further, this group may override the powers of the openstack-unmaintained-core group for the project’s Unmaintained branches.

There is an OpenStack-wide group with the responsibility to handle branches in Unmaintained status across all projects.
It is possible for individual project teams to override the OpenStack-wide group for that project’s Unmaintained branches.
