FAQ

How can I delete a feature?

Only admins can delete features. If you need a feature deleted, please email webstatus-request@google.com.

Does the existence of review gates in chromestatus.com mean that all features will need approvals both here as well as in Google internal approval processes?

No. The expectation is that the majority of Web Platform features will only need to go through approvals in chromestatus.com. But cases will araise where approvers will ultimately need to approve in both tools. That shouldn't result in any more actual approval reviews etc, but some tooling overhead will occur. We will work to minimize that as we learn more how that works in practice.

Can all the review gates be reviewed at the same time?

Yes, all reviews can be reviewed at the same time w/ the exception of the API owners. The intent template will be generated based on the review gates update. Hence required API Owners review to be kept last.

When does the SLO timer start?

The timer starts when the Intent to Ship or Intent to Experiment is sent

My feature is trivial, do I really need to go through all these reviews?

Yes, and if your feature really is trivial, that likely means the reviews should be trivial as well. Say as much in your review requests and your approvals should arrive quickly.
