# 1.13

## Patch Release Management Team

To discuss a cherry-pick, schedule, or anything else related to 1.13 patch releases,
contact any member of the team. You can just tag us on #sig-release Slack channel
or message directly. Please give us a business day to respond - we may be in a different timezone!

Cherry-picks are monitored on regular basis, so it's likely you'll hear
from us on PRs to release-1.13 branch by the time the next patch release is due.

## Timeline

Next patch release is **1.13.2**.

Frequency of releases is likely to be about every 2 weeks at least until Kubernetes 1.14.0
is released. After that, it may slow down based on demand. However, it can be affected
by other factors, such as critical security fixes or holiday season.

Cherry-picks deadline is the end of day by which all pending PRs to release-1.13
branch have to merge to be included in the patch release. Any PRs left pending past
this point will either wait for the next patch release, or may in rare cases
delay current release.

Target date is the date on which the patch release is cut. Must be at least 2
days after cherry-picks deadline to allow all release-blocking tests to run.
