Release documents need updating
Our release docs are out of date since we've updated our project infrastructure related to releases. We need to update the sections in the release docs to make sure these are clear.
This seems crucial to release yt 4.0.2, and even if it's not, I'd like to have the information somewhere. @munkm do you think you'll get a chance to work on that in the near future ? Maybe you didn't intend to do it yourself, in which case I'm sorry that I'm putting this on you, I just don't know who exactly has the knowledge that's currently missing from our docs.
@neutrinoceros and @matthewturk I think in the future we should not unassign people who have assigned themselves without a written verification that it is ok (even better is if they unassign themselves!)
Madicken has explicitly stated that she wasn't able to work on yt for the time being (https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/thread/4ROHTRUXH6PJJD7AHFLG4SDAD324EUUV/), which is why I took on the responsibility of unassigning her, and stepped in to try and resolve the issue.
Yeah, I see that. I think it is great that you stepped in and assigned yourself to resolve the issue since Madicken put herself in the fallow fields. I just don't think it was necessary to unassign her. I think this issue could still be moved forward and closed without actively removing someone--if I am wrong and issues cannot be closed without removing people, definitely let me know!
You're right, it's not blocking. I probably shouldn't have assigned myself instead, let alone Matt. I don't think we have a clear policy for assignments actually, I would err on the side of not using them at all, following the advice given here https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/dont-lick-cookie
Ooh, interesting! This is probably worth a longer discussion among more than just you and me, but I do like the idea thrown out at the end that people should only self-assign when they are starting work on something. Would definitely require some re-alignment of our use of assignments, I think.
Okay, until that conversation happens about how yt should be using the assign feature, I am putting @munkm back on and she can stay or remove herself.
