Update steps for MVP noms and selection
Why is this change being made?
MVP selection is sub-optimal
Current process has the RPM soliciting MVPs on the 12th (optionally sooner) and choosing an MVP on the 15th.
Proposal:
- The new automatic Release Post job will create the MVP issue on the 1st
- MVP issue can be modified to include a mention to
@gl-product
and@community-team
requesting nominations - Opening steps will be updated to encourage RPM to share a link in #release-post, #community-relations, #mr-coaching and #core Slack channels
- On the the 12th, instead of soliciting MVPs, the RPM will encourage votes on the noms
- On the 15th, the RPM chooses an MVP based on votes
