Hi, all

 

  We enter into Soft Feature Freeze phase on 2023-05-08. 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 sent before Soft Feature Freeze, and plans to catch this stable
tag, the

patch contributor need reply to his patch and notify edk2 community. If the

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

please add edk2-stable202305 key words in the patch title and BZ, 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 05-26. That means edk2 maintainer can't set push label in

pull request after 2023-05-08. 

 

  If the change wants to catch this stable tag 202305, please follow above

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

michael.d.kinney@intel.com or miki.demeter@intel.com.

 

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

freeze phase.
