Transfer product ownership of production Beta Features to an actual product person
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Right now James F. is still the product owner of the concept of Wikimedia having Beta Features in production, dating from when he was product owner of all contributor-facing features.

The primary work is helping teams go through the process, on average around once a year, and reminding teams with live features that they need to either ship or shut down (nominally, within six months of their last major feature change; in practice, it can go longer during e.g. a staggered roll-out).

The principal product objective is to help teams provide a great experience for logged-in users without overwhelming them with too many features at once, and reducing cognitive complexity for how different wikis might be.

This shouldn't be owned by a person so much as a position, and it should definitely be owned by an actual product person – possibly @MMiller_WMF?
