Distribution DRI rotation week of 2025-11-03

Process

Duties (Copied from process page)

The Distribution DRI works on the following areas per the order of the list.

During the month

  1. Support incidents escalated from production.
  2. Support help requests for Build and Self-mananged (~Help group::SoftwareDelivery label).
  3. Answer or redirect questions in #g_distribution Slack channel.
  4. Perform issue triage.
  5. Respond to @gitlab-org/distribution group mentions in GitLab.
  6. Optional: Work on deliverables for the current milestone or other Distribution related tasks.

Handover

  1. Close the assigned DRI issue.
  2. Rotate your name to the end of the shift assignment list.
  3. Create a new issue for the next shift and assign it to the next team member on the list. The issue title should be Distribution DRI rotation of <month> <year>. Use the Distribution-DRI template to fill in the description.
  4. For requests still active at the time of handoff, the DRI should use best judgement and consider one or several options:
    • Close the request with a documented mitigation and open a follow-up issue.
    • Add a comment that hands off the request to the next week's DRI.
    • Continue to act as SME, though handoff to the next DRI with clear documentation to share knowledge is strongly preferred.
    • Pass information to the next DRI in a synchronous conversation.
