Hello Pulsar Community, It has been several months since the 2.8.3 release and there are many important fixes after that. For example, there is a performance regression for message listener that was introduced from 2.8.3 and fixed in https://github.com/apache/pulsar/pull/15162.
I volunteer to be the release manager for 2.8.4. Here [0] you can find the list of 149 commits to branch-2.8 since the 2.8.3 release. There are 54 closed PRs targeting 2.8.4 that have not yet been cherry-picked [1] and I will cherry-pick them and solve the conflicts if necessary. There are 18 open PRs labeled with `release/2.8.4` [2]. I will check the status of them and see if they can be pushed to 2.8.4. Thanks, Yunze [0] - https://github.com/apache/pulsar/compare/v2.8.3...branch-2.8 [1] - https://github.com/apache/pulsar/pulls?q=is%3Apr+label%3Arelease%2F2.8.4+-label%3Acherry-picked%2Fbranch-2.8+is%3Aclosed [2] - https://github.com/apache/pulsar/pulls?q=is%3Apr+label%3Arelease%2F2.8.4+-label%3Acherry-picked%2Fbranch-2.8+is%3Aopen
