Do you think this is doable from your side (actual releases)?

@anweshadas as well ^^ I lost track of who is doing the next Ansible package release...

[felixfontein]

me too...

[Ompragash]

@felixfontein I primarily focus on PPA releases and for PyPI collaborating with @rooftopcellist & @anweshadas when needed so it's manageable overall.

@felixfontein @samccann apologies, I missed this notification. This schedule looks good to me, and is in line with what we talked about when doing the 7.0.0 release. That is maintainable, and will keep the community and core releases aligned.

@anweshadas and I are the right people to ping. The projected release roadmap seems manageable and sensible to me!

[felixfontein]

I created a vote in ansible-community/community-topics#194 on the current version of the proposal, to end on 2023-02-09 (one day after the contributor summit).

@acozine @samccann this PR has been approved by the community (see ansible-community/community-topics#176 (comment)), could you please remove the WIP and get it merged? Thanks :)
