Push Requests
For regular push requests, follow the the guide instructions.
During the later stages of a release cycle, the release enters rampdown. If a change needs to be pushed to a release in rampdown, push approval can still be requested using the jdk23u-critical-request label.

Once the requester has pushed a critically approved fix it will automatically be included in the targeted release.
