Renaming Zulip T-compiler WGs streams #848

Description

Proposal

As part of some changes in the T-compiler global structure, the formal grouping of people known as "Working Groups" will be phased out. The idea behind it (people getting together to work on a specific area of the compiler) still stands and people working on areas of the compiler can do so as always, as they prefer.

As part of this phasing out, we would like to rename Zulip streams removing the wg- suffix. The full list or renames as follows:

Old name New name Notes
#t-compiler/wg-debugging #t-compiler/debuginfo
#t-compiler/wg-diagnostics #t-compiler/diagnostics
#t-compiler/wg-llvm #t-compiler/llvm
#t-compiler/wg-mir-opt #t-compiler/mir-opts "opts" instead of "opt"
#t-compiler/wg-parallel-rustc #t-compiler/parallel-rustc
#t-compiler/wg-rustc-dev-guide #t-compiler/rustc-dev-guide

Process

The main points of the Major Change Process are as follows:

  • File an issue describing the proposal.
  • A compiler team member or contributor who is knowledgeable in the area can second by writing @rustbot second.
    • Finding a "second" suffices for internal changes. If however, you are proposing a new public-facing feature, such as a -C flag, then full team check-off is required.
    • Compiler team members can initiate a check-off via @rfcbot fcp merge on either the MCP or the PR.
  • Once an MCP is seconded, the Final Comment Period begins. If no objections are raised after 10 days, the MCP is considered approved.
