Background

Representatives from the web team met with the manager of Release Engineering (notes here) about getting a dedicated deploy window. The process is straightforward - we find a time that is not currently in use one the calendar, then submit a patch to the repo. The file to update is here and there is a script to run for generating the calendar. Since we don't regularly monitor IRC, the wording of the window should indicate that if nobody is present in the first X minutes (5?), it's safe to ignore the window

User story

As an engineer on the web team, I want a dedicated deploy window to ensure scheduled deploys can be coordinated

Requirements

• web team is reflected on the deploy schedule, ideally M-Th
• @thcipriani has reviewed the patch and approved it
• the verbiage indicates that we don't check IRC unless we're doing a deploy, and to check in #talk-to-web or assume it's been skipped if nobody shows in the first 5 minutes

Acceptance criteria

• web window is present on https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments

Communication criteria - does this need an announcement or discussion?

No additional communication besides getting a review from Tyler

Rollback plan

As this change is only to the deployment schedule, a standard revert should suffice
