Then we build a new, additional Jenkins that is committer-only (or PMC- only, perhaps, if it's for release purposes). This is a tractable problem. We are stuck at an impasse where people need something to reduce the manual workload, and we have an obsolete policy standing in its way. We must be the last organisation in the world where people are forced to release software through a manual process. I don't see why this is something to be gleeful about. -Joan
