Release engineer/manager onboarding
Googler facing documentation can be found at go/flutter-release-workflow.
Responsibility
Release engineer is responsible for:
- Branch alignment and/or shepherding cherry picks
- Decision making related to cherry pick risk
- Verification that pre and post submits pass prior to publishing
- Contributor facing communication
- Some public facing post release communication
In the past (and possibly in the future) there was a distinction between a release engineer and release manager. For now the responsibilities are the same and we will refer to the person managing the release as a release engineer.
