Maniphest query for deployment blocker tasks: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/u/blockers

Week of ...

  • May 30: Tyler.
  • June 6: 1.28.0-wmf.5 Tyler.
  • June 13: 1.28.0-wmf.6 Chad'll do Tuesday, Antoine Wed/Thurs
  • June 20: 1.28.0-wmf.7 Tyler
  • June 27: 1.28.0-wmf.8 Mukunda
  • July 4: 1.28.0-wmf.9 Mukunda
  • Proposal: Should we:
    • always mention the relevant "deployment blockers" task when branch cutting/deploying, and
    • always relate the wikiversion patches with that same bug?
    • Then we get a nice log in that task thanks to stashbot.
    • Conclusion: 'tis cool
