* Successful Jenkins builds for the 3.7 branch:
Unit/integration tests: 
https://ci-builds.apache.org/job/Kafka/job/kafka/job/3.7/175/
The run shows some flaky tests, but I have confirmed they all pass locally.
One of them — 
kafka.api.PlaintextConsumerTest.testPerPartitionLagMetricsCleanUpWithSubscribe,
has an issue with the sequential run of the different test parameters,
but when run independently, all the variants pass.

System tests: I don't have access to the Confluent URL for system tests:
 https://jenkins.confluent.io/job/system-test-kafka/job/3.7
I am still working on finishing a full run using resources available to me.
If anyone with access is able to check them, please reply with details.
