Hi, all

  We enter into Soft Feature Freeze phase now. In this phase,

the feature under review will not be allowed to be pushed. The feature

passed review can still be merged.

  The patch review can continue without break in edk2 community. If the

patch is under review process, and plans to catch this stable tag, the

patch contributor need to send the request in edk2 mail list. If the patch

is submitted after Soft Feature Freeze, and plans to catch this stable tag,

Please send the request in edk2 mail list and notify edk2 community, so the

community know this patch target and give the feedback.

  To avoid the unnecessary changes to be merged in edk2 stable tag release,

all edk2 maintainers' write access will be temporarily disabled until stable

tag is released on 08-23. That means edk2 maintainer can't set push label in

pull request after soft feature freeze starts.

  If the change wants to catch this stable tag 202408, please follow above

rules, then send the pull request to gaoliming@byosoft.com.cn or

michael.d.kinney@intel.com.

  We will help merge the code change in soft feature freeze and hard feature

freeze phase.
