 ### Submitter checklist
+
 - [ ] The Jira issue, if it exists, is well-described.
 - [ ] The changelog entries and upgrade guidelines are appropriate for the audience affected by the change (users or developers, depending on the change) and are in the imperative mood (see [examples](https://github.com/jenkins-infra/jenkins.io/blob/master/content/_data/changelogs/weekly.yml)). Fill in the **Proposed upgrade guidelines** section only if there are breaking changes or changes that may require extra steps from users during upgrade.
 - [ ] There is automated testing or an explanation as to why this change has no tests.

 ### Maintainer checklist
+
 - [ ] There are at least two (2) approvals for the pull request and no outstanding requests for change.
 - [ ] Conversations in the pull request are over, or it is explicit that a reviewer is not blocking the change.
 - [ ] Changelog entries in the pull request title and/or **Proposed changelog entries** are accurate, human-readable, and in the imperative mood.
 - [ ] Proper changelog labels are set so that the changelog can be generated automatically.
 - [ ] If the change needs additional upgrade steps from users, the `upgrade-guide-needed` label is set and there is a **Proposed upgrade guidelines** section in the pull request title (see [example](https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/4387)).
 - [ ] If it would make sense to backport the change to LTS, a Jira issue must exist, be a _Bug_ or _Improvement_, and be labeled as `lts-candidate` to be considered (see [query](https://issues.jenkins.io/issues/?filter=12146)).
