End of year holidays and Jenkins 2.375.2 release schedule

[Mark Waite]

In the past few years, we've  taken a break from our regular LTS schedule over the holiday season.  I propose we take a break this year, though with a variation from past years.

The 2.375.1 LTS release is scheduled for Nov 30.  Four weeks after that would be Dec 28.  I propose that we move the 2.375.2 release candidate date one week to Dec 21 and then delay the 2.375.2 LTS release by two weeks until Jan 11, 2023.

I propose that release dates continue on a 4 week cadence after the Jan 11, 2023 release, so the dates would be:

• Nov 30, 2022 - Jenkins 2.375.1 release
• Dec 21, 2022 - Jenkins 2.375.2 release candidate
• Jan 11, 2023 - Jenkins 2.375.2 release
• Jan 25, 2023 - Jenkins 2.375.3 release candidate
• Feb 8, 2023 - Jenkins 2.375.3 release

Comments and discussion are welcomed.

Is there an issue with what’s already in the calendar?

No issue for me with the items on the Jenkins calendar.  They match with the proposed dates.  Thanks!

A one month RC period makes it more likely to have requests for post-RC changes crop up. I'd prefer to shorten it for that reason (like Mark suggested).
