scap k8s deployment progress reporting
scap release-scripts/perform-release rewritten in Python, and added wait for the tag pipeline.
Jaime is a PHP expert now, succesfully running patchdemo

Upstream buildkit mod merged: https://github.com/moby/buildkit/pull/4899
Moved wmf buildkit helm chart to its own repo for easier maintenance: https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/repos/releng/buildkit-chart/
integration/config: jjb-diff improvement (don't assume stdout wants ansi)
Docker gc config for CI: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/puppet/+/1031045
docker-hub-mirror upstream bug workarounds
Phab: made good progress removing tech debt in Phabricator, all deployed thanks to Brennen: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/cGaRtbNWQSd1/#R . Disabled ~12 ancient Herald rules. Hackathon. Phorge upstream stuff. etc.
Hackathon a good time generally
Wikibugs got initial gitlab integration during the hackathon and has a couple of improvements since. Next step is wiring up a bot to configure more webhooks so the bot can see CI runs and code review comments. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibugs
Contint1002 is now running on bullseye along with python2 zuul, but this is the LAST TIME! (thanks dzahn)

Team Discussions

Team demos—this is a good spot for 'em

GitLab decision doc updates
- https://docs.google.com/document/d/1N7yjV255mshnpO7q-2lKD0brhENhRB-uUU6K3sN1Ow8/edit#heading=h.43mb2gr8akao
- find a different term for "production-critical" → "deeply connected"
- explicit about what this does to "done" for this project
  - Changes definition
  - Means consultation, will be ongoing, expecting that public release means consultation will happen
- ? Will we allow some MediaWiki extensions/skins to migrate if they are not WMF prod impacting?
- ? Will we try at all to make zuul talk to gitlab things?
- Phabricator tag to setup an async workflow for this
- How would we look for consensus on where a project lives
