Idea
It is used to alert the product manager core committer(s) that an issue represents a significant new feature, UI change, or change to the "user experience" of Drupal, and their signoff is needed. If an issue significantly affects the usability of Drupal, use Needs usability review instead (see the governance policy draft for more information).
This was discussed at a meeting of the Core Leadership team at DrupalCon Barcelona 2024. Those present agreed to the removing the contact module from core and moving it to contrib. The product managers were not able to attend so tagging for their review.
