RC.0 ships in a week or two's time. Are any of these happening?

I'm optimistic that we might achieve AbuseFilter, but none of the others at this point. No pressure, @Daimona. :-)

Well, it might be doable. More precisely:

  • Some security issues already resolved in prod weren't patched on master (see subtasks). I guess these should be sorted out first.
  • Support for Postgres and SQLite is blocked on T220791. That task is essentially blocked on giving people some time to run the migration script. I think we might either wait for 1.37, or bundle AF now under the assumption that people can run the migration immediately and set the flag to READ_NEW if they need compatibility with Postgres or SQLite.

I think it's reasonable to put in the release notes that people should run the migration script. The vast majority of sysadmins won't have AbuseFilter installed, and the few that already installed it manually will have a small single extra task alongside the others they already have. I think expecting it in 1.36 is fine.

WFM. I've removed the subtask as it's no longer a blocker. Is there anything else I could do to get it bundled? I'm not really familiar with the process.

Per precedent at T196650 - no extensions were actually bundled, so resolved does not seem appropriate
