Your job for the release is to make sure that bugs (issues) and their related PRs which affect the release are dealt with in a timely fashion. In general, you will be polling bugs, checking status, sending reminders and questions to contributors and SIG leads, and publishing summary reports.
Secondarily, you will be helping improve automation around issue management and release tagging.
How this works depends on where you are in the release cycle. There are five relevant periods where your workload changes:
- Early Release: between Feature Freeze and a week before Code Slush.
