PRs

https://github.com/Islandora/controlled_access_terms/pull/120: Proposed to move to optional as its not a hard requirement and complicates things, merged.
https://github.com/Islandora/documentation/pull/2305: Rosie updated the release README to be more accurate, merged.
https://github.com/Islandora/documentation/pull/2304: MKdocs dependency PR, merged.
https://github.com/Islandora/islandora/pull/1017: Code review feedback changes. Rosie is looking at it again to confirm fixes before moving along.
https://github.com/Islandora/islandora/pull/1020:
- Rosie suggests moving to drupal/islandora moving forward and updating all dependencies to support this behavior.
- Discussion around how this impacts testing branches.
- Joe asks about syncing branches to Drupal as opposed.
- Rosie mentions not wanting to push dev things to Drupal.org.
- Akanskha states Drupal.org's Gitlab integration is better than patches.
- Rosie says she will look into syncing branches.
- Rosie highlights the need to remove stale branches post merging if all branches sync to Drupal.org.
- Joe suggests changing Github settings to automatically clean up to alleviate some of the potential pain points.
- islandora/islandora's many old, stale branches are brought up (https://github.com/Islandora/islandora/branches/all?page=1) and how pruning should happen.
- Don suggests targeting particular branches to sync to Drupal as opposed to everything.
- Joe mentions forked PRs wouldn't get synced. Only commits into islandora/islandora and its various branches would getting sycned to Drupal.org.
- Rosie says including those patches on Drupal.org would be beneficial for testing.
- Discussion goes back to what needs to be done for communication or otherwise to facilitate the move to drupal/islandora.
- Joe agrees with the idea, but mentions that communication needs to go out to support the move. Also wants documentation to be in place on how to test patches.
- Rosie suggests a dropdead date for the cut over. Messaging would be sent out and the old Packagist package would be deprecated.
- Seth mentions dependabot branches and what might happen?
- Rosie postulates matching patterns could be sufficient.
- Seth affirms kicking down the road and handle if and when it becomes a greater issue.
- Don highlights the deprecated property for composer.json usage to go along with replaces.
- Discussion around how to handle semantic versioning, patch vs major.
- Rosie suggests deprecating using Packagist as a way to get to code and instead to use Drupal.
- Joe suggests a workflow of introducing the deprecation and then the actual change after.
- Rosie counters that would likely flag islandora as deprecated in all places.
- Joe asks if this could wait to be included into a 3.x?
- No stable timeline for a 3.x, so may not be the correct place to include this change.
- Rosie mentions splitting out the optional pieces as a good point for inclusion (ex: Fedora).
- Jordan mentions abandoning packages via Packagist UI and offering a replacement.
- Rosie closes with a suggested three month window (August) for deprecation and discussion ends.

- Don offers clarification as to context around the post. He is going to speak to his colleague about the issue and will escalate if it it's a greater issue.
