On reading it, and going through a CSR myself, I've identified two points that should be added to the FAQ (assuming they aren't detailed elsewhere, and I've just missed them). Here's a draft for the two additions. ----- Addition 1: underneath "Q: What are common types of feedback for the CSR to give?" ----- Q: How do I create a release note? A: By following this process: 1) Find the parent bug for the CSR, and add the label "release-note=yes". 2) Create a sub-task via the menu "More -> Create sub-task". 3) Use "Release note: " as the title, followed by a few words on the nature of the change. 4) Fill in the rest of the sub-task with brief details on the parent bug's changeset, and include the label "release-note" 5) Finally, seek review for the release note before closing it. ----- Addition 2 ----- Q: How do I progress a CSR? A: By gathering reviews and moving it through the states until you reach "finalized" state. Finalized CSRs are automatically reviewed by the CSR board, and they will move it through to "closed" state once an appropriate resolution has been chosen. Be sure your CSR is polished and ready for final assessment before moving it into finalized state. ----- End of Additions ----- Please review and comment, thanks. :) Best Regards Adam Farley IBM Runtimes [1] https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/csr/CSR+FAQs Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
