[Wikitech-l] SWAT deploys - Release Engineering team members as backup deployers

Hello all, If you watch the deployment calendar[0] closely you may have noticed a change recently regarding the individuals listed next to each SWAT deploy[1] window. The short version: * We have removed all Release Engineering team members names from the list of SWAT deployers. * Release Engineering team members are still around and available on an as needed/backup basis. * Release Engineering team members are still around to respond to any issues that arise, of course. * Also, Release Engineering would love to train more individuals on any engineering team to self-serve their own SWAT deploys. Please contact me if you'd like to explore next steps. This is a relatively minor change to reflect the growing reality of how SWAT deploy windows happen now. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of our current and past SWAT deployers; thank you for helping get fixes out to our users quickly and safely.
