Hi @jaideepr97. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.

Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

@upodroid
is #9178 merging a requirement for this one?

@upodroid #9178 has merged, could you re trigger the checks?

@upodroid question: for #9178 we had to shorten the email id and name to mcp-lifecyle-op to meet the character limit (https://github.com/kubernetes/k8s.io/blob/main/groups/sig-apps/groups.yaml#L69)
i missed updating that here
does that mean the repo name in all the registries listed in promoter-manifest also need to be mcp-lifecycle-op?

[upodroid]

Can you update the group email here? The repo doesn't need to be changed
