Intro: Kubernetes (Release) SIG
summary
SIG Release runs a fixed quarterly cadence — four releases per year with 10–13 week cycles, an enhancements freeze around week four, and a release branch created near week seven. Each release sees roughly 2,000 commits on master, then a few dozen release branch cherry-picks for critical fixes; three minor releases remain supported for nine months. Workstreams include release engineering tooling, license scanning (Black Duck trials), docs, testing, and an LTS working group; many volunteer roles and a 128-person shadow interest survey show strong community demand.
