@palnabarun how was the list of KEPs generated?

I see that this list https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/sig-node/annual-report-2023.md includes

4188 - New kubelet gRPC API with endpoint returning local pods information - v1.29

which was never released in 1.29.

Is there a chance the list be regenerated with the proper metadata?

[palnabarun]

@SergeyKanzhelev The data is generated from KEP metadata (kep.yaml) that accompanies every KEP. In the k/enhancements repo, I see the KEP has Alpha milestone set to 1.29. That is the source of error.

Please feel free to remove any erring KEPs from the report and follow up on fixing the metadata.

The KEPs being approved, but then removed from the milestone quite often. There is no alternative milesetone to assign them now as the milestone has passed and there may not be anybody taking it right away to the next one.

Since there may be other KEPs like this, any chance automation can be improved to handle those cases?

There is no alternative milesetone to assign them now as the milestone has passed and there may not be anybody taking it right away to the next one.

The milestones can be removed if KEP is not targeted anymore to a specific one.

The automation takes the KEP metadata as source of truth. That was the intended use case. Not sure what other information can feasibly be used in the automation.
