As a part of the release owner responsibility, only release owners should have merge rights on the release branch that they manage. Request that for the just created release-3.11 branch, this be restricted to the following people, - kmadappa - srangana (I think you need github IDs instead of these mail IDs, if so let me know) Further, in case approvals are needed, @amye and @vbellur are CC'ed to this bug.
This is sorted.
