To avoid back and forth on releases requests, we recommend that requests contain the requests MUST HAVE the following MUST HAVE info:
- PTL approval (if the request is being submitted by anyone outside the approved committer groups for that component)
- Artifact to be released: Maven and/or Docker (This helps making sure we release the right thing as we have jobs building both Docker and Jars at the same time)
- Explicit version number being intended to be released (This helps a lot to catch discrepancies between that the team wants to release and what Jenkins actually built)
- Jenkins job link with build number (We need the exact build number to get a reference of the revision that was used to build so that we can tag the repo)
