Release status

In series, the following will be released via che-release:

• che-theia, che-machine-exec, che-devfile registry,
• che-plugin-registry (once che-theia and machine-exec are done)
• che-parent, che-dashboard, che-workspace-loader, and che (server assembly), including release to Maven Central
• che-operator

Then, these steps will be done, which still require some manual intervention (PR verification is not yet automated):

• generation of OperatorHub PRs
• chectl

• che-theia, che-machine-exec, che-devfile-registry, che-plugin-registry
• che-parent, che-dashboard, che-workspace-loader, che
• che-operator (depends on all of the above)
  • https://github.com/operator-framework/community-operators/pulls?q=%22Update+eclipse-che+operator%22+is%3Aopen
• chectl (depends on all of the above)

If this is a .0 release:

• send reminder to TLs to triage unresolved issues
• complete current milestone
  • move incomplete deferred issues to backlog
  • move incomplete WIP issues to next milestone
  • close completed issues
  • close milestone

Community PRs were not merged, so this should not have been closed.

PRs blocked by new ci.yaml requirement. See:

• https://github.com/operator-framework/community-operators/blob/master/docs/contributing.md#updating-your-existing-operator
• Consider moving to semver update  #18502

[nickboldt]

PRs unblocked -- ci.yaml was already committed... but has also been added to the olm script here, so we can override the default file if needed:

eclipse-che/che-operator#558

And as an added bonus, this should generate PRs from the template using hub:

eclipse-che/che-operator#559
