People, I want to revive this discussion and bring Vishesh' PR under your attention again. The discussion there is mostly about the length of the period before closing. So here I am going to state 1year - first warning, 1.5years second warning, 2 years closing. What do you all think?
There are also issues that we might consider interesting but not functionally complete or clear, we can convert those to github discussions, and I would like to encourage all of you to do that as sometimes issues will lead to issues and not to PRs and those are basically discussions to be had. please respond with your comments or put them in https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/8667 regards, On 2024/02/16 09:17:02 Vishesh Jindal wrote: > I have created a PR with the changes > here:https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/8667 > > I propose that we enable it.
