Hello Launchpadders,

I just had a chat with Brad, who managed the last release of
Launchpad, about the way we go about managing the release.

I forgot. We also thought that it would be a good idea if you check
with the appropriate team lead before proposing a patch as being
release critical. Not as a mandatory thing, but it makes it a lot
easier for the RM, who can often lack the domain knowledge to make a
sound judgement about how severe an issue is.

Actually, we already have a policy in place where any release critical or CP
requests should go through a team lead first, who will do an initial
assessment.  I'm not sure if that's been strictly adhered to though.

This policy has not been followed AFAICT. I think it is a good idea. I don't think it needs to be made concrete, by adding it to the MP for example, but should be handled informally.
