Hi all,

Thanks for your support. I updated the skeleton release plan created by
Colin. You can find it here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Release+Plan+3.8.0

Our last release stumbled upon some problems while releasing and was
delayed by several weeks, so I won't try to shave some weeks from our plan
for 3.8.0 (we might end up having delays again). Please raise your concerns
if you don't agree with the proposed dates.

The current proposal on dates are:

   - KIP Freeze: *15nd May *(Wednesday)
      - A KIP must be accepted by this date in order to be considered for
      this release. Note, any KIP that may not be implemented in a
week, or that
      might destabilize the release, should be deferred.
   - Feature Freeze: *29th May *(Wednesday)
      - *major features merged & working on stabilisation, minor features
      have PR, release branch cut; anything not in this state will be
      automatically moved to the next release in JIRA*
   - Code Freeze: *12th June *(Wednesday)
   - At least two weeks of stabilization will follow Code Freeze, meaning
   we expect to release *no earlier* than *June 26th*. We will move as fast
   as we can, and aim for completion the earliest we can in June.

I went through the KIP list, and found that these are the ones that might
make it into the release:
KIP-853: KRaft Controller Membership Changes (still under discussion)
KIP-942: Add Power(ppc64le) support
KIP-966: Eligible Leader Replicas
KIP-974: Docker Image for GraalVM based Native Kafka Broker
KIP-977: Partition-Level Throughput Metrics
KIP-993: Allow restricting files accessed by File and Directory
ConfigProviders
KIP-994: Minor Enhancements to ListTransactions and DescribeTransactions
APIs
KIP-996: Pre-Vote
KIP-1004: Enforce tasks.max property in Kafka Connect
KIP-1005: Expose EarliestLocalOffset and TieredOffset
KIP-1007: Introduce Remote Storage Not Ready Exception
KIP-1019: Expose method to determine Metric Measurability

Please review the plan and provide any additional information or updates
regarding KIPs that target this release version (3.8).
If you have authored any KIPs that have an inaccurate status in the list,
or are not in the list and should be, or are in the list and should not be
- please share it in this thread so that I can keep the document accurate
and up to date.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Best,
