We discussed this in [today’s meeting](http://forum.ansible.com/t/meeting-log-ansible-community-working-group-2023-11-29-1933/2636).

We discussed next steps:

```auto
<gotmax23> So, next steps:
<gotmax23> I guess I'll finish up my PR and put it up for review
<gotmax23> Finish my issue filing scripts and get feedback on the messages
<gotmax23> Probably start a vote on the issue filing plan and template for visibility

```

Other notes:

- Make sure to include the ansible-test version when filing collection issues (–@felixfontein)
- Check that ignore.txt files do not contain any [required tests](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/community/collection_contributors/collection_requirements.html#ci-testing) (–@felixfontein)
- Figure out what to do with `ovirt.ovirt`’s templated code. Is this a Repository Management violation?
- File one issue on `verify-upstream` issues and another for `sanity-tests` issues.
