The release skills had no notion of a test period: releasing-struts gated phase 4 only on the vote itself, creating-version-notes handed over to the vote mail "once the test build is announced", and creating-release-vote-mail ran as soon as the [TEST] mail existed. In the 7.5.0 / 6.13.0 cycle that produced a vote draft on the same day as the test announcement.

Changes

  • releasing-struts: a new load-bearing gate, the test period between [TEST] and [VOTE], about a week by recommendation; its length is the release manager's call, and the agent states the recommended earliest vote date and stops rather than drafting the vote.
  • creating-release-vote-mail: runs when the release manager asks for the vote, never because the test mail went out.
  • creating-version-notes: the hand-over paragraph says the release waits for testers after the announcement.

Companion change to the published Release Guidelines: apache/struts-site PR (linked in the first comment).

The three release skills said nothing about how long the test build
stays open, so "once the test build is announced" read as "now" and the
vote mail got drafted the same day as the [TEST] mail. The period is
about a week by recommendation and its length is the release manager's
call; the skills now say so and stop at the end of phase 3.
