Backport windows

SWAT deploys are deployments that happen during a SWAT deploy window (naturally) that are done by a member(s) of the SWAT deploy team (see below).

Guidelines

• Quorum
  • There will be at least one SWAT deploy team member available and active during the window. Preferably two.
  • this may change

• Patch submission
  • Prepare patches in gerrit against the current live wmfXX branches (or a subset if the bug is limited)
  • Depending on the patch, positive reviews before hand are necessary (the SWAT team are not responsbile for code review)
  • Provide the gerrit url to the SWAT deploy team member on point via IRC.

• Doing the deploy
  • They SWAT team would coordinate in #wikimedia-operations the merging and deploying of the patches, pinging the relevant developers when their's is up.
