+                      A new Gateway API version for standard channel has been released and we need to publish the corresponding blog post.

+
+                      Release announcement should go live within 30 days from the date created, and the draft PR should be proposed to the `kubernetes/website` repository at least 14 days before the go-live date for sigs-doc team to give enough time for review.
+
+                      Please adhere to the k8s [blog post guidelines](https://kubernetes.io/docs/contribute/blog/article-submission/#route-1) when drafting the post.
