* Any release updates?<br>
<br>
- Release-5.13, tagging is done, Sheetal and shwetha are looking
into building packages. Once that is done, we will announce the
release.<br>
- 5.13 will be last release in branch 5.<br>
<br>
- Unlike the previous process, currently for both release 7 and
5, the same issue is being used, so I have tagged the issue with
appropriate release while merging. <br>

discussion about how we are going to backport the patches. <br>
<br>
Xavi clarified earlier that we can use the same issue.<br>

various branches as well<br>
<br>
Template for tracker : <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://review.gluster.org/#/c/glusterfs/+/24285/">https://review.gluster.org/#/c/glusterfs/+/24285/</a><br>
<br>
Sanju : make changes in template to ask the reported to get the
labels right from the maintainer atleast and would be better if we
can give others the permission to assign labels.Amar: the reporter
needs write permission in the repo.<br>
Deepshikha: created a team of dev. for this team, they will have
permissions to add labels and other necessary values.<br>
<br>
<br>
