These meetings were initiated in response to ongoing discussions in the TSC and PTL meetings about dealing with dependencies on unmaintained projects, as well as documentation.

- Consensus that repo yaml file proposal is a good start. May want to add additional data later.
- repos.yaml
- Create new repository called "release management" or similar for file
- Maybe a repo in the integration space if OK with the PTL.
- should not create ongoing work for the Integration team (beyond initial repo creation)
- Release Manager would need to have +2 rights for the repo.
- if in a existing repo committer privs should be decoupled from the privs of the parent repo
- May cause more issues than it is worth
- stand alone may be more appropriate even if more initial work to create.
- Envision this as being the authoritative source for this info.
- Start with just capturing which repos are in use for a particular release in the file - once established it can then be leveraged by other tooling.
- Who ends up being responsible for updating INFO.yaml and repos.yaml files if the PTL is gone?
- can rely on RelEng super committer rights if need be
- Request for a json version to also be generated from the repos.yaml
- Kenny Paul David McBride discuss a project proposal for stand alone repo creation.
