  • Ensure all milestoned issues/PRs are closed, or reassign to new milestone
  • Verify good Testswarm results; run tests in browsers which failed some tests locally (sometimes it's caused by TestSwarm itself):
  • Run any release-only tests, such as those in the test/integration folder.
  • Make sure latest GitHub CI build for the relevant is green; if not, restart a job or run npm test locally to verify.

    • Look for bad names/emails and update .mailmap using real data from CLA sheet if needed
