| 16 | h3. Add a workflow section to the description |

| 17 | |||
| 18 | 7 | Loïc Dachary | The issue is used to figure out at what point of the release workflow it currently is. The "development workflow":http://ceph.com/docs/master/dev/development-workflow/ must be copied and edited to reflect the specifics of the version being released (i.e. replacing roles by names of people responsible for a given component at this point in time for instance). Here is an example from "firefly v0.80.10":http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/11090 |

| 21 | * "Cutting the release":http://ceph.com/docs/master/dev/development-workflow/#cutting-a-new-stable-release |

| 37 | 2 | Loïc Dachary | This will be used by the person responsible for the publishing the release. Although it is largely redundant with information from the context, it can convenientely be copy pasted and does not require any understanding of the conventions used for backporting. The release manager can publish the release with just this information and nothing else.
