Description

We are adding a "Fast Track" deprecation/removal issue template so that certain kinds of non-controversial breaking changes can skip through the Request-For-Comments (RFC) period. It has a simpler template as to provide a lower barrier-to-entry for these sort of changes.

To do
  • https://github.com/openedx/.github/pull/174
  • Add automation to move fast-track issues into the Transition Unblocked column
  • Try the new system out with the STORAGES PR (not necessary, it turns out)
  • Add automation to announce when any DEPR issue moves into Transition Unblocked
  • Update the OEP
